Auditor Nathan Parks presented new precinct boundaries from the North Dakota Secretary of State showing parts of the Spirit Lake Reservation within Nelson County; commissioners approved creating two precincts as required because those areas fall in Legislative District 9.

Nelson County’s auditor presented new precinct boundaries from the North Dakota Secretary of State on Feb. 6 and the commission voted to add a second precinct to account for parts of the Spirit Lake Reservation now within the county’s borders.

Nathan Parks explained that the Secretary of State map places portions of the Spirit Lake Reservation inside Nelson County and that those areas fall within Legislative District 9; that configuration requires a second precinct for proper election administration. Commissioners voted unanimously to adopt the two precincts as provided by the Secretary of State.

The change is an administrative election-management action to align county precincts with state-provided legislative-district boundaries.
