County election officials asked the committee to confirm the list of precincts and polling places for the 2026 election year. Staff said they had intended to propose combining some precincts but missed the statutory deadline required for changes, so the committee decided to keep the current precinct boundaries and polling places in place for 2026 to avoid voter confusion between primary and general elections.

The committee approved a motion to confirm the list of polling places for the 2026 election year. Members noted the timing constraint: changes had to be initiated by the June regular meeting, which staff said had been missed, so any precinct consolidation would be considered in a future cycle. The county clerk also reminded prospective candidates about petition circulation and filing deadlines and reported a $32,000 IVRS grant to support voter-purge work and voter-registration software updates.

The committee’s confirmation retains the current precincts and polling places for the coming election year; staff said they will revisit any consolidation proposals in the next applicable meeting cycle.
