In a recent government meeting, officials provided an update on the 2024 general election, highlighting a remarkable 94% voter turnout in the municipality. The election, held two weeks ago, saw 753 individuals register on the day of voting, a significant achievement for the community.
Approximately 80 poll workers were deployed across three polling locations and a central counting area, with officials praising their efforts and the support from various departments. The election process is currently ongoing, with a 45-day timeline to finalize voter participation and registrations. Once completed, residents will have access to online information regarding voter participation.
Officials noted that the current manual processing of registrations is time-consuming, but there are plans to revive electronic poll books, known as Badger books, by 2025. This upgrade is expected to streamline future elections, potentially allowing for quicker closure of election results. The meeting concluded on a positive note, emphasizing the successful execution of the recent election and the commitment to improving future electoral processes.
