Referendum on Continuation of the Pennsylvania Potato Research Program

[31 Pa.B. 1590]

   Under the applicable provisions of the Agricultural Commodities Marketing Act (3 Pa.C.S. §§ 4501--4513), a referendum was held from February 9 to February 23, 2001, to determine if the producers affected by the Pennsylvania Potato Research Program (Program) desired to have the Program continue for another 5 years. In order to pass, a majority of eligible producers voting had to vote in favor of the Program continuing. An impartial Teller Committee met on February 27, 2001, to count the ballots. These results were submitted by the Teller Committee: a total of 83 eligible votes were cast, with 68 voting in favor of continuing the Program and 15 voting against continuing the Program. Stated differently, 82% of the eligible votes favored continuing the Program and 18% favored ending it. There were 19 spoiled or ineligible ballots.

   Because a majority of the votes were cast in favor of the Program, the Program shall continue for another 5 years.

SAMUEL E. HAYES, Jr.,   
Secretary
