The Quincy City Council convened on July 21, 2025, with all eight members present, establishing a quorum for the meeting. Following a moment of silence and the Pledge of Allegiance, the council proceeded to address the agenda.

The first item discussed was the update of polling places for Ward 4 Precincts 2 and 3, as well as Ward 6 Precinct 5. Councilor Ashe proposed relocating the polling locations for Ward 4 to the lower level of the Quincy Lodge of Elks at 254 Quarry Street. This venue was noted for its handicap accessibility, ample parking, restrooms, and secure storage for election equipment. The council expressed support for this change.

Next, Councilor Ashe addressed the situation for Ward 6 Precinct 5, which is affected by ongoing construction at the Squantum Elementary School. Initially, the council considered using the school's media center for the upcoming municipal election. However, due to a recent request to vacate the premises, an alternative location was sought. Councilor Ashe recommended the Nickerson Post at 20 Moon Island Road, highlighting its accessibility, sufficient parking, and the fact that it is a city-owned facility. The manager of the post agreed to close during polling hours to accommodate voters.

The council agreed to vote on both polling place updates together, streamlining the process for the upcoming elections.

In conclusion, the meeting effectively addressed the necessary adjustments to polling locations, ensuring accessibility and convenience for voters in Quincy. Further discussions and decisions regarding the election logistics are anticipated as the election date approaches.
