The purpose of redistricting is to ensure that people are equally <br /> represented. <br /> Municipalities can be impacted by the redrawing of lines because legislative boundaries (state <br /> and federal) can change and municipal voting precincts boundaries must coincide with those <br /> lines. <br /> The Special Redistricting Panel appointed by the Minnesota Supreme Court released <br /> redistricting plan/map in February. In effect, the plan includes no impact to Lino Lakes' <br /> congressional and legislative voting districts. The City remains in the 6th District(Congress) <br /> and is fully included in one state legislative district now numbered as 36(A). <br /> BACKGROUND <br /> Municipalities are required to review voting districts after redistricting and prior to March 28th <br /> Staff is presenting a resolution reestablishing municipal precinct lines and polling places for <br /> Lino Lakes, including the precinct line change requested by the council at the January 24th <br /> work session. <br /> RECOMMENDATION <br /> Staff is recommending approval of Resolution No. 22-27. <br /> ATTACHMENTS <br /> 1. 2022 Voting Precinct Map with Polling Locations <br /> 2.
