HomeMy WebLinkAboutItem 06.r Date: Item No. DESIGNATION OF POLLING PLACES FOR 2020 Proposed Action Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move to approve a resolution designating polling places for the 2020 primary and general elections. Overview The legislature recently passed HF 3429, which provides special procedures for the safe and secure conduct of the elections this fall. One of the provisions allows municipalities to designate polling places after the statutory deadline, but no later than July 1, 2020. HF 3429 also states that a governing body of a municipality or county must only use a school as a polling place when no other public or private location is reasonably available for use as a polling place. If a municipality or county has designated a school as a polling place, the municipality or county must work with school staff to ensure that contact between students and voters is minimized. Three churches in Lakeville have kindly agreed to allow their buildings to be available for voting in August and November. Precinct 5 (Lakeville North High School) would move to Northcross Church; Precinct 11 (Crystal Lake Education Center) would move to Messiah Lutheran Church; and Precinct 15 (Parkview Elementary School) would move to South Twin Cities Church of Christ. The three new locations are highlighted on the attached list. Primary Issues to Consider Dakota County will mail postal verification cards notifying voters of their new polling place. The County will cover the cost of mailing these notices. In addition, we will post signage at each school directing voters to the new location.
