A RESOLUTION ESTABLSHING AN ABSENTEE BALLOT BOARD FOR THE
NOVEMBER 4, 2008 GENERAL ELECTION
WHEREAS, the Minnesota Election Law provides authority to a municipality to
establish an Absentee Ballot Board in accordance with the provisions of the law; and
WHEREAS, this will ease the work load for election judges to perform this
technical and time consuming task on election day, wherein the Absentee Ballot Board
can begin the process 30 days prior to an election; and
WHEREAS, this will speed the processing of accepted absentee ballots
delivered to the precincts to be incorporated into the vote counts on election day; giving
election judges more available time for voters at the polls.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Mounds View City Council
authorizes an Absentee Ballot Board for the purpose of reviewing all absentee ballots
and marking the absentee ballot envelopes as "accepted" or "rejected" with the board to
consist of two (2) election judges (each from a different political party) in each precinct
for a total of 8 election judges.
Adopted this 13th day of October, 2008.
