HomeMy WebLinkAbout#12 - 2021 Polling PlacesSTAFF REPORT
DATE: December 15, 2020
CONSENT
AGENDA ITEM: Adopt Resolution 2020-102 Declaring Polling Locations for 2021
SUBMITTED BY: Julie Johnson, City Clerk
BACKGROUND:
Pursuant to a change made by the legislature in 2017, Minnesota Statutes 204B.16, sub.1, requires cities to
adopt an Ordinance or Resolution by December 31st of each year declaring the polling locations for the
following year. The Office of the Secretary of State believes this change was made to lessen voter
confusion, particularly in cities that relocate polling places from year to year. The two polling locations in
Lake Elmo are functioning well and staff sees no reason to recommend any changes for 2021.
