Absentee Ballot Boards are permitted by State statute <br />and consist of election judges from different political parties comparing absentee ballot voter <br />application information with voter information provided on the absentee ballot return envelopes. <br />If everything matches, particularly voter signatures, the judges determine the ballots to be <br />accepted. However, the absentee ballot envelopes themselves are not opened until they are given <br />to the respective precinct judges on Election Day, November 2, 2004. The Absentee Ballot <br />Board, comprised of four election judges from Falcon Heights, will meet at City Hall on <br />Saturday, October 30, 2004, 8:30 AM. <br />• ATTACHMENT: <br />Resolution 2004-21 and attachment on pages ~3 - 15 <br />ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: <br />• Approval of Resolution 2004-21 appointing an Absentee Ballot Board for the General <br />Election on November 2, 2004 <br />~a <br />
