Item Type:
Subject:
Approval of Resolution on Write-In Tallies
Background:
To comply with Minnesota Statute 204B.09, subdivision 3, the School Board may adopt a resolution governing the counting of write-in votes for school board elections. The resolution may require that write-in votes for an individual candidate for the school board only be individually recorded if the total number of write-in votes for that office is equal to or greater than the fewest number of non-write-in votes for a ballot candidate. The attached resolution establishes the tallies of write-in votes only if write-in votes are greater than a ballot candidate's total votes. This will remain effective for all future elections until the school board rescinds the resolution.
Recommended Action:
The administration recommends adoption of the attached resolution.
