Why was a second vote taken?
Under the direction of our elders, the vote was reopened from December 26, 2023 to March 1, 2024 on this website. It was announced on Facebook as well as here. This would allow the whole family worldwide a chance to vote for the next location. This is how all reunions in the past have been determined. The process is as follows:
In all the excitement on the final night of the New Zealand Reunion, the family in attendance called a vote. Through shouts of "Samoa! Samoa!" the decision to hold it there was made which left the majority of the family (who were not in attendance) out of the vote.
It was determined that to be fair, the vote had to be reopened. But that does not eliminate Samoa. The Samoa Reunion is scheduled for 2026. It was decided in New Zealand that to give Samoa enough time to prepare, they would need 3 years. From April, 2023 to April, 2026 is 3 solid years.
We look forward to hearing more from the Samoa Reunion Committee going into the future. We have created a special page here on our website the would feature all the information coming from Samoa so that the entire family can prepare for this very special reunion. Communication is very important. We will be updating the Samoa and the Las Vegas page every month.
