Nelson County names election inspectors, sets polling hours and adopts vote-by-mail; places Road & Bridge and Extension measures on the ballot
Summary
The commissioners appointed election inspectors, set polling hours for the 2022 primary, voted to make Nelson County a vote-by-mail county for 2022, and approved ballot language for Road & Bridge and NDSU Extension measures; a special April 11 meeting later adjusted the Extension ballot language.
Nelson County commissioners took several election-related actions at their April 6 meeting and convened a special meeting April 11 to revise language on one ballot measure.
On April 6 the board appointed Elaine Larson and Sandra Dalburg as inspectors for the 2022 Primary Election; the motion was moved by Commissioner Don Fougner and seconded by Commissioner Cody Johnson and carried unanimously. The board also approved polling hours of 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. at the Nelson County Courthouse (motion by Commissioner Cody Johnson, seconded by Commissioner Steve Forde).
Commissioners voted to make Nelson County a vote-by-mail county for the 2022 election (moved by Commissioner Maynard Loibl, seconded by Commissioner Steve Forde); the motion passed with all members voting yes. The board also approved language to place a Road & Bridge measure and an NDSU Extension measure on the 2022 Primary Election ballot.
Because commissioners later determined the NDSU Extension language needed revision, they held a special commissioners meeting April 11 at 9:15 a.m.; Chairman Nancy Marquart attended by phone. At that meeting Commissioner Cody Johnson moved and Commissioner Steve Forde seconded a change to the NDSU Extension ballot language; the motion passed on a roll call vote.
All election-related motions were approved unanimously at the time they were taken. The transcript does not include the exact ballot text as published; commissioners approved the language during the meeting and later revised the NDSU Extension language at the April 11 special meeting.
