Arnold I. Palacios has withdrawn the nomination of Trinidad L. Rabauliman to serve as a member of the Commonwealth Election Commission.<\/p>\n<p>Palacios also re-nominated last week Gregorio Q. Castro to serve as member of the Board of Professional Licensing, representing Tinian and Aguiguan.<\/p>\n<p>Palacios informed Senate President Edith E. DeLeon Guerrero (D-Saipan) last week that he is withdrawing Rabauliman\u2019s nomination at this time and will resubmit her nomination at a later date.<\/p>\n<p>The governor appointed Rabauliman last Sept. 6 to serve as a member of the CEC board, representing Saipan and Northern Islands. The appointment requires the Senate\u2019s consent. The Senate has yet to confirm Rabauliman\u2019s nomination.<\/p>\n<p>If confirmed by the Senate, Rabauliman will serve a four-year term, which became vacant and will expire on July 21, 2025.<\/p>\n<p>Rabauliman previously served as a member of the CEC board when then-governor Eloy S. Inos appointed her to the CEC board on Aug. 7, 2013. The Senate subsequently confirmed her nomination.<\/p>\n<p>With respect to Castro\u2019s re-nomination, if confirmed by the Senate, he will serve a six-year term, which will commence on the date of his confirmation and oath of office.<\/p>\n<p>Palacios said he and Lt. Gov. David M. Apatang are confident that Castro possesses the necessary qualifications and will continue to dedicate his time and efforts to this important board.<\/p>\n<p> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/images\/imgupload\/7a989cefc5885f68e2b484d0b6e0ed10.jpg\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\" \/><br \/>Election<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Due to time constraint, Gov.
