Dear Councilmember Safarik:
As part of the stand-down activities after each election, the Office of
Elections reviews polling places and precinct boundaries to determine whether or
not polling place sites are convenient and accessible to voters. More specifically,
we are interested to learn if:
(1) The location is convenient and accessible to the majority of
voters in that precinct.
(2) The facility is the proper size for the number of registered
voters served in the polling place.
(3) The facility meets minimum physical standards; i.e.,
adequate lighting, parking, storage, ventilation and separate
entrance/exit.
(4) Any physical feature around the facility and its
appurtenances that impede the access of the voter to the
polling place.
To assist us in this review, we request your thoughts and
comments concerning polling place sites and precinct boundaries in your area.
We would appreciate a response from you, in writing, by February 15, 2005. If
you believe sites to be inadequate, we would appreciate any suggestions you
may have regarding alternate sites for that polling place.
Comra. No.~__~.r,
