FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Lemoore Little League Announces Decision to Reconduct Board Member Election Following Voting Irregularities
Lemoore, CA— 5/19/26
The Lemoore Little League announces that irregularities were identified during the recent voting process for the selection of new board members. During the course of the election, concerns arose regarding the integrity of a portion of the submitted votes, including evidence suggesting that some ballots may have been tampered with or improperly influenced.
Upon discovering these issues, the current board promptly convened to review the available information. The discussion was conducted with a commitment to fairness, transparency, and without any predetermined outcome. After carefully evaluating the findings, the board determined that the integrity of the election process had been compromised.
In order to uphold the values of the league and ensure confidence among its members and community, the board has decided that a new election will be conducted.
The new process for voting will be as follows:
1. Each registered child in the league is representative of one vote.
2. Background checked volunteers such as coaches, assistant coaches, and board members are entitled to one vote
3. Sponsors of the league are entitled to one vote per business
How it will work:
1. A new link will be sent to the emails that we have on file for registered children in the league.
2. The updated form will include a spot for the following: Childs name, volunteer position, business.
3. These records will be compared against the data that we have in our system to determine validity.
4. Voting will take place from now and run until May 21 at 5pm.
5. The new board members will be announced once voting results are confirmed.
Example: If you have 2 children in the league. Use your sports connect email and name for the account that registers the child. Input one child’s name and submit the votes, then log in again and use the other child’s name for the second vote.
The league remains committed to maintaining a fair and transparent governance process and appreciates the patience and understanding of its members during this time.
Following notification of this decision, several candidates chose to withdraw from the election.
