- Absentee voting is becoming more popular (absentee voting in Lino Lakes <br />increased from 8.3% of voters in 2012 to 18.8% of voters in 2016; this equates to <br />1,217 less voters coming to a polling place on Election Day). <br /> <br />When can the city change polling places and precinct lines? – As noted above, <br />polling places for 2018 must be approved by the end of this year. The deadline for <br />changing precinct lines for 2018 has already passed (December 1 in a year preceding <br />a state election). <br />Requested Council Direction <br />Changes can be confusing for voters so they should be planned well and should take into <br />consideration logistics as well as plan for future voters. Staff believes that the best <br />approach is to continue with the current polling places and precinct lines for the 2018 <br />election. Work will continue in 2018 on changes to be implemented for the 2019 election. <br />Attachments <br />Precinct Map and related data <br /> <br />
