MEMORANDUM <br /> DATE: August 12, 1994 <br /> TO: Michael Mornson, City Manager <br /> FROM: Connie Kroeplin, City Clerk <br /> ITEM: ABSENTEE BALLOT BOARD <br /> Accepting and counting absentee ballots is a time consuming process involving <br /> • several procedures. This is especially true for the larger State and Federal <br /> elections. <br /> An Absentee Ballot Board is composed of election judges with an equal number <br /> of each party (a minimum of 2). These judges would work on the absentee <br /> process only and can be stationed at a precinct or at City Hall while accepting <br /> and rejecting ballots and listing the accepted ballot voters. Their duties would <br /> begin after the.last mail delivery on election days. Recording and counting the <br /> ballots would be done at the precincts after 8:00 P.M. on election days, <br /> however, time is saved in the judges not having to accept, reject and list the <br /> ballot envelopes election night. <br /> RECOMMENDATION <br /> Recommend Council adoption of the attached ordinance amendment to allow for <br /> an establishment of an Absentee Ballot Board. <br /> • <br />
