-3- <br /> 4) Less administrative election staff time devoted to <br /> obtaining judges, setting up and taking down the <br /> equipment. <br /> 5) Less confusion with absentee ballots. <br /> 6) A more timely and efficiently run election at a lower <br /> cost with no loss of service to the voting public. <br /> Disadvantages <br /> 1) At the end of the evening a summary sheet would have <br /> to be prepared for each tabulator where now it is <br /> automatic through the Optech III tabulator. <br /> 2) Candidates would not be aware of the area where <br /> individual support votes were being cast. <br /> Phase In Approach <br /> The phase in approach to going to a single precinct for the City <br /> of Mounds View would be to adopt a resolution declaring a single <br /> polling place designation for the City. The City can adopt a <br /> resolution 30 days before the April 7th Presidential Primary <br /> designating the Bel-Rae as a single polling place for the <br /> residents of Mounds View. This means that a single board of <br /> election judges may be appointed to serve at this polling place <br /> (approximately 12 total judges for this election) . These number <br /> of judges to serve is determined by considering the number of <br /> voters in the entire city as if they were voters in a single <br /> precinct. Separate ballot boxes would be provided and separate <br /> returns made for each precinct in the city. <br />
