Information
Agenda Item Text:
Adopt Resolution 23-27 to approve 18 Vote Centers for the 2024 Presidential Preference, Primary and General Elections as listed on the attached Exhibit; and authorize the Elections Director to make substitutions as necessary prior to each election, in the event that a Vote Center replacement needs to be made in accordance with A.R.S.§ 16-411.
Background:
Pursuant to A.R.S. 16-411, the Board must designate polling places prior to an election. That Statute also allows for the Board to authorize the Elections Director to make substitutions as necessary prior to each election in the event a Vote Center replacement needs to be made in accordance with A.R.S. 16-411. The Board authorized the use of Vote Centers on August 25, 2015 after extensive research was conducted to determine appropriate facilities for housing the Centers strategically located throughout the County.
One Vote Center has been added to the list of Vote Center locations, as follows:
One Vote Center has been added to the list of Vote Center locations, as follows:
- Vote Center 19 - First Baptist Church of San Simon, Fellowship Hall, 2907 Cochise Avenue, San Simon, AZ 85632.
Department's Next Steps (if approved):
Finalize all Vote Center rental agreements, contact GIS to make changes to the county vote center locations on maps, promote locations to voters and conduct the 2024 elections.
Impact of NOT Approving/Alternatives:
State law requires the designation of polling place/voting centers. Not approving this would also mean a delay in securing the facilities as they are popular public meeting places that book up a year in advance.
