Jefferson County commissioners designated polling locations and approved ballot-print quantities for the upcoming November consolidated elections.

County election staff presented the slate of precinct polling places — including Lewisville Community Center for Lewisville, Rigby Senior Center for Rigby precincts, Roberts Community Center for Roberts precinct — and summarized the number of registered voters and recommended ballot-print counts for each contested jurisdiction. The board approved the designated polling locations and the ballot-print numbers during the meeting by motion and roll-call vote.

Why it matters: The approvals formalize where voters will cast ballots and how many ballots will be printed for each precinct and municipal contest. Election staff noted the typical printing buffer and that additional ballots can be produced if precinct demand exceeds estimates, but they said that historically turnout rarely exceeds the projected print quantities.

Supporting details: Staff listed expected voters and recommended printed ballot counts for municipal contests in Rigby, Roberts and other jurisdictions. Precincts with mail-ballot arrangements were called out separately. Commissioners asked practical questions about print-backup procedures should a precinct run low on ballots; staff replied that additional ballots are printed quickly if needed.

Discussion versus decision: The board approved the polling-location designations and ballot-printing requests; staff will proceed with printing and logistical planning for the Nov. election.

Ending note: Election staff asked the board to sign documentation and proceed with preparations for absentee and early voting at the courthouse.
