AGENDA ITEM 3A
STAFF ORIGINATOR: Jean Viger, Deputy Clerk
MEETING DATE: May 12, 2008
TOPIC: Resolution No. 08 -42, Redrawing Precinct Boundaries
VOTE REQUIRED: Simple Majority (3/5 Vote)
BACKGROUND:
Minnesota Statute 204B.16 (Polling Places; Designation), subdivision 1, was amended allowing
polling places in the metropolitan area to be a distance of up to one mile (5280 feet) outside the
boundaries of the election precinct. Previously State Statute 204B.16 required the polling place for
a precinct be located within the boundaries of the precinct or within 3000 feet of one of those
boundaries.
Currently Precinct No. 6 has 2752 registered voters and Precinct No. 7 has 923 registered voters.
Our goal is to equally divide the registered voters in Precinct No. 6 & Precinct No.7, making the
polling places more manageable for our election judges and eliminate long lines for our voters.
Minnesota Statute 204B.16, subd. 1, as amended, now makes it possible to move the precinct
boundaries of Precinct No. 7 to Ash Street to the south and Holly Drive to 12th Avenue to Birch
Street to the east. As a result of redrawing the boundaries, Precinct No. 6 will have 1804 registered
voters and Precinct No. 7 will have 1875 registered voters. The distance from the intersection of
12th Avenue and Birch Street to Precinct No. 6, Living Waters Lutheran Church, is 4,140 feet.
Attached is a map showing the current precinct boundaries and the proposed boundaries in blue.
The boundary change will affect a portion of voters who are currently voting in Precinct No. 6.
They will be voting in Precinct No.7.
Minnesota Statute 204B.14 requires that the governing body of a municipality shall establish the
boundaries of the election precincts and this shall be done no later than June 1st in the year of a state
general election. The boundary changes shall not take effect until notice has been posted in the
municipal clerk's office for at least 60 days. If Resolution No. 08 -42 is approved, Anoka County
Elections and the Office of the Secretary of State, Elections and Registration will be notified. A
notice will then be sent, as required by law, to each affected registered voter notifying them of the
change.
OPTIONS:
1. Approve Resolution No. 08 -42
