IV.4. Resolution Designating Polling Places; DomeierDecember 21, 2021 Council Report 2021-125
Resolution Designating Polling Places
Staff recommends approval of the following motion: Move to approve Resolution 2021-085
Designating Polling Places for the 2022 elections.
Overview
According to State law, municipalities must designate polling places for each election precinct for
the following calendar year. This must be done by December 31. A polling place must be located
within the boundaries of the precinct or within one mile of those boundaries.
There are currently 6 voting precincts in Hopkins and no polling location changes are proposed at
this time. After legislative redistricting is completed next year, precinct boundaries will have to be
reestablished and polling places will have to be designated again at least 19 weeks before the state
primary.
Primary Issues to Consider
Law requires the designation of polling places.
Staff is not recommending any changes to the current polling locations.
