2009 California Food and Agricultural Code - Section 67081-67082 :: Article 4. Voting Procedures

67081.  The secretary shall establish a list of producers in each
district. In establishing the lists, the secretary shall require that
handlers in the state submit the names, mailing addresses, district
numbers, and handled volume of each producer from whom they purchased
or handled avocados in the preceding marketing season. The request
for information from handlers shall be in writing and shall be filed
by the handlers within 90 days following receipt of the written
request.
   Any producer of avocados whose name does not appear upon the
secretary's list of producers may have his or her name established on
the list by filing with the commission a signed statement,
identifying himself or herself as a producer. Failure to be on the
list does not exempt the producer from paying assessments under this
chapter.

67082.  Subsequent to the first election of members under this
chapter, persons to be elected to the commission shall be selected
pursuant to nomination and election procedures adopted by the
commission and concurred in by the secretary.
