They said it could be something simple or you could use the same as the oath of office. The point seems to be <br />to ensure that the laws are followed when canvassing. Since the council is constituted as a separate board for the <br />purpose of the canvass, they should take an oath as to the duties of that board. <br />The standard oath is: <br />"I, (name) do solemnly swear to support the Constitution of the United States, the Constitution of the State of <br />Minnesota, and to discharge faithfully the duties of the office of (insert brief description of office) of the city of (insert <br />city), Minnesota, to the best of my judgment and ability, so help me God." <br />Jeannette Bach 1 Research Manager <br />Tel: 651 - 281 -1223 1 Fax: 651 - 215 -4123 <br />jbachCa�lmc.orq 1 www.lmc.orq <br />League of Minnesota Cities <br />145 University Ave. West l St. Paul, MN 55103 <br />Connecting & Innovating Since 1913 <br />Stay connected with the League of Minnesota Cities: <br />I Web Facebook Twitter 4.4, Bloo <br />From: City of Ottertail tmailto:otcity(&lakesplus.coml <br />Sent: Monday, November 01, 2010 3:56 PM <br />To: Clerk /Administrators <br />Subject: [clerk - admins] Oath of Canvassing <br />1 <br />
