Linnell; Christine B. Nelson Subject: 2018 Polling Place Designations Importance: High We received this guidance from the Office of the Secretary of State about designating polling locations. See their explanation below. The language of the statute now requires BOTH cities and school districts to pass a resolution prior to December 31st of each year setting polling places for the following year. School Districts can still use combination precincts, but for the combination they must designate a polling place for the combination that has been designated by the municipality. This is very confusing. The upshot is that all cities will need to adopt a resolution establishing their polling places for 2018 before the end of this year, even if there will be no changes from what was designated in a prior resolution. Our school districts will be doing the same and need to know right away if you plan to make changes. Please let me know as soon as possible if your city plans to change any of the polling places from what was used in 2016 to a new building for the 2018 elections. Thank you.
