IV.4. Resolution Establishing Precinct Boundaries and Polling PlacesMarch 15, 2022 Council Report 2022-27
Resolution Establishing Precinct Boundaries and Polling Places
Proposed Action
Staff recommends that the Council approve the following motion: Move to approve Resolution
2022-020 Establishing Precinct Boundaries and Polling Places.
Overview
The Minnesota Supreme Court Special Redistricting Panel released its congressional and
legislative redistricting plan on February 15, 2022. Municipalities have until March 29, 2022 to
reestablish their precinct boundaries based on the court's plan.
The attached precinct map divides the city into five voting precincts. Polling places must be fully
accessible, large enough to accommodate the election activities, free of other non-election
activities, smoke and liquor free, and must be located either within the precinct boundary or
within one mile of the precinct boundary.
Staff took the following factors in consideration when developing the proposed redistricting
map: reviewing the current precinct boundaries, potential polling locations, population and future
growth projections, accessibility to polling locations, easily identifiable and explainable precinct
boundary lines, census block limitations, and the popularity of early voting.
