www.surveymonkey.com/r/RamseyParkMasterPlan, will close at midnight on Sunday, February 11. Special Election Update: • Absentee Direct Balloting. Direct balloting for in-person absentee voting began on Tuesday, February 6. Direct balloting is Minnesota's version of`early voting'. The absentee voter marks his ballot and feeds it into the vote tabulator versus in the absentee envelope, which is the process for the first 39 days of absentee voting. Direct balloting is allowed 7 days prior to the election. To date, 18 people have voted absentee at City Hall. • Open Additional Hours. City Hall will be open additional hours to accommodate in- person absentee voting before the Primary on February 13. Additional hours include 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on Saturday, February 10, and until 5:00 p.m., Monday, February 12. • Special Primary Election Day. All eight polling locations will be open for voting on Tuesday, February 13; however, the staffing level at each precinct will be somewhat lower than for a regular election. • Results of the Election. Because this is strictly a local election, the results will not have a running feed on the Secretary of State's website. The polling locations will not be modeming in the results—they will be calling Anoka County Elections with the results. Once Anoka County has compiled the absentee votes and added them to the number of votes called in on Election night, they will email City staff a pdf of the results to post to our website. Because that may be later in the night,the posting may not be on the City's website until the following morning. However, staff will email out the results to the Mayor and City Council as soon as they are available. • Canvassing the Primary. Council will have to meet to canvas the results of the Primary and that can be scheduled either Thursday or Friday, February 15 or 16, but must take place by the 16th. A majority of the Council needs to be present. Staff will be contacting Council to determine the best time to meet. • Absentee Voting for Special General. The in-person absentee voting for the Special General, scheduled for Tuesday, April 10, begins on February 23 (46 days before the election).
