MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL PAGE TWO boundaries of each election precinct in the municipality. (This must be done 30 days in advance of any change in an election precinct or boundary becomes effective. ) The clerk must retain a copy of these maps for public inspection. 2) Consolidation or change in precinct boundary lines must be adopted 90 days before an election. The State Primary election will be held on September 15, 1992 . 3) The City Clerk or County Auditor must post this change for 60 days previous to the effective date of the change. 4) All affected registered voters must be notified of the change at least 14 days prior to the first election held after the change takes effect. During the April Presidential Primary twelve judges were used to handle all four precincts and the election ran smoothly. As with any change in policy, there are adjustments that have to be made. One disadvantage that comes to mind in changing the policy for voting is confusion for the voter. In order to help overcome this confusion and assure that the upcoming State Primary and General Elections are conducted efficiently and with few problems, staff will employ two to four additional judges, who will aid in directing non-registered voters and explaining the changes in voting procedures. The addition of these two to four judges will make for a total complement of approximately 24 judges. The two referenced elections will be set up similar to the Presidential Primary using alphabetical breakdowns for registered voters rather than precincts. The use of four tabulators and approximately 20 voting booths should efficiently and expediently process the number of voters casting ballots at these elections. The effective date of the consolidation of the four precincts into one large precinct would be July 13, 1992 . If you have any questions with regards to this proposal, please contact me.
