Permanent DCBOEE Director Named

The District Board of Elections and Ethics finally has a permanent executive director, the board announced late Friday. Rokey W. Suleman II, previously Fairfax County’s general registrar, will come on board in July after more than a year with only an interim director at the helm - a year which saw some controversial election irregularities during the September primary. The Examiner has more on the appointment, noting that Suleman will take on the job at a time when the BOEE has been tasked with deciding whether recognizing gay marriages legally performed elsewhere is a proper subject for a referendum.
