Board adopts one‑year resolution allowing voters flexibility after redistricting data mismatch
Summary
The board unanimously approved a one‑year resolution enabling voters to cast ballots either at the polling location listed on the county/NTS website or at the location where they show up on May 19, after board members found NTS records do not align with new ward boundaries following redistricting.
The Albany City School District board unanimously approved a short‑term resolution to address an administrative mismatch between polling‑place information on the county/NTS website and newly redrawn ward boundaries.
Board member Wolf Gang said the district discovered the NTS records do not align with recently changed ward lines and that updating those records now could confuse voters who have already looked up polling locations. He proposed a one‑year solution allowing residents to vote either at the location shown on NTS or at the site they present to on Election Day; the board adopted the measure unanimously.
Wolf Gang described the fix as temporary and said the district intends to correct the underlying records before the next budget vote. No tally of individual roll‑call votes was provided in the transcript; meeting minutes recorded the action as unanimous.
The resolution was a walk‑on item set aside from the routine consent agenda for separate discussion and then approved.
