The committee voted to confirm existing precinct polling places and defer any precinct consolidation until next year to avoid voter confusion between primary and general elections.
The Planning and Zoning Committee confirmed the current list of precinct polling places for 2026 and declined to combine precincts this cycle, citing concerns about confusing voters if locations change between a primary and a general election.
Staff said petition circulation for the March 2026 primary began and reminded potential candidates of filing dates. The county clerk reported the county will have contests for clerk, sheriff, treasurer, and 10 county board seats, and that precinct committee people for both parties will be elected in 37 precincts.
Committee members said they intended to consider precinct consolidation at a future regular meeting rather than this cycle, noting a procedural deadline for changes occurred at the June meeting. The motion to confirm the existing polling places carried on roll call.
