After a mix-up involving the signatures required to run for Mayor, Allyssa Victory is now on the November 8th ballot as a candidate for Oakland Mayor.
The city says Allyssa Victory will be added to the list of candidates running for Oakland Mayor. On Tuesday, the City Clerk’s Office will hold the 2nd ballot name drawing to be fair to everyone running, but not everyone is happy about that decision.Oakland’s City Attorney has given the approval to add a 10th person to the November ballot for Mayor. As a result, there will also be a 2nd random drawing to determine the order of the names on the ballot.
"I hate to hear that some people feel that things are continuing to be unfair. I think we have to still be unified together," Victory said. "They made an error. Everything I had submitted by the timely deadline was sufficient. I was able to announce this morning that I am qualified and will appear on the November 8th ballot," Victory said. "I do understand the sense of fairness, but there’s also fairness to candidates who did our job, made the ballot, and here we are now having to do another ballot drawing," said Scott.
