Resolution Designating Polling Places for 2019 General Election
Staff recommends approval of the following motion: Move to approve Resolution 2018-089
Designating Polling Places for the 2018 State Primary and State General Election.
Overview
Laws of Minnesota, Chapter 92, require the governing body of each municipality to designate the
locations of its polling places for the following election year. This designation must be done by
resolution.
Primary Issues to Consider
Law requires the designation of polling places.
Staff proposes moving Precinct 3 from City Hall to the Hopkins Pavilion. Early voting will still
occur at City Hall. The change in voting location only affects Election Day voting going
forward.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends designating the polling places as outlined in Resolution 2018-089.
