Agenda Item Description or Legislation Title
Huber Heights Polling Locations
Purpose and Background
The City has been engaged in discussions with the Montgomery County Board of Elections and the Miami County Board of Elections to address polling locations for Huber Heights residents that are located outside of the City of Huber Heights. The Montgomery County Board of Elections has committed to working to relocate its polling locations outside of the City to within the City. The Miami County Board of Elections originally responded responded with an email regarding its plans for polling locations in Miami County outside of the City to continue in 2022 (see attached). Since that time, the Law Director has communicated with the Miami County Board of Elections. He said the Miami County Board of Elections is willing to discuss potential Miami County polling places for the Huber Heights residents of Miami County, but needs to know what locations the City has in mind in Miami County. The Law Director requested that City Council and City Staff provide any proposed locations. The proposed site must meet certain ADA requirements (

). In addition, if the location was only for the four precincts in the City, the parking lot would need a minimum of 50 spaces, ideally more. Poll workers would occupy at least 16 of those parking spaces (four per precinct), even more in a presidential or gubernatorial election. The interior must be large enough for five check in tables, 16 voting booths (spaced apart for safe distancing and privacy), four scan stations, and an ADA voting unit. There needs to be ample room for people to stand in line, preferably inside the building. Best practice calls for separate entrance and exit doors to the voting area. There needs to be space for poll workers to use the restroom and set up a break area. Electrical outlets need to be located throughout the room to minimize the use of extension cords in the voting area. There needs to be ample overhead lighting for workers and voters. Two overview maps of the City sections in Miami County and the surrounding area of Miami County have been attached for reference purposes (see attached). This agenda item is for discussion of these issues regarding Huber Heights polling locations in Miami County.
