AGENDA ITEM 1D

TOPIC: Resolution No. 12 -23, Reestablishing Precincts and
Polling Places
VOTE REQUIRED: Simple Majority (3/5 Vote)
INTRODUCTION
Redistricting is the process of redrawing the boundaries of election districts and is done after
the completion of the decennial Census. The voters who live in each district then elect
individuals to represent the people of the district in a legislature or other governing body. The
purpose of redistricting is to ensure that the people of each district are equally represented.
• BACKGROUND:
The Minnesota legislative and congressional redistricting plans were released by the
Minnesota Supreme Court on Tuesday, February 21, 2012. As a result, Lino Lakes remains
wholly in the sixth congressional district, but is now represented in Senate District 38 and
State House District 38A.
City governments must redistrict or reestablish all precincts after state redistricting (M.S.
204B14, subd. d). Reestablishing precincts is a routine process of verifying that existing
precinct boundaries meet legal requirements and then reconfirming those boundaries.
The City of Lino Lakes has made no precinct boundary changes.
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Approve Resolution No. 12 -23 reestablishing precincts and polling places.
