MAYOR/COUNCIL STAFF INPUT <br />Councilmember Johns reported that it appeared the electronic poll books sped up the check in <br />process at the polling places and she felt the move to these books was a positive. City Clerk <br />Thieling agreed that it did speed up the check in process, with the average time being 10 <br />seconds. She added that she received positive feedback from the Election Judges as well as <br />some from the public. <br />Councilmember Kuzma mentioned that the initial results of the Primary Election posted on the <br />Secretary of State's website were incorrect. The numbers posted were correct, but the numbers <br />did not align with the candidate receiving those votes. City Clerk Thieling responded that the <br />Anoka County Elections staff had explained that it was a coding issue between the County and <br />the State and that it was corrected as soon as it was noticed, which was approximately 8:30 p.m. <br />Councilmember Kuzma stated he was not pleased that this happened and he felt that the Anoka <br />County Elections Department should issue an apology to the candidates. <br />6.
