Officials cite lighting, signage and parking problems at several polling sites
Summary
The county's elections official told commissioners lighting delays, confusing signage, parking constraints and a malfunctioning gate sensor created problems at some polling sites on election day; staff said they will address those issues before future elections.
Cricket told the board that lighting was a significant issue at one polling location on election day after the time change; she said lights at a flagpole did not come on until 6:45 a.m., creating a potential liability concern. "Lighting was a big issue at our polling location on election day because of the time change," Cricket said.
She also reported parking‑lot problems, gates that required a new sensor to open, and confusing signage that led voters to the wrong entrance at one site. Staff said they will work on lighting, parking and signage to ease voter flow at future elections.
The chair asked that the operational proposals be brought back as a formal agenda item for fuller discussion and potential action.
