HomeMy WebLinkAbout#07 - 2023 Polling LocationsSTAFF REPORT
DATE: December 6, 2022
CONSENT
AGENDA ITEM: Adopt Resolution 2022-109 Declaring Polling Locations for 2023
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 2023.
ISSUE BEFORE COUNCIL: Should the Council adopt the Resolution?
FISCAL IMPACT: NA
