The Alexandria Public Schools board adopted a contingent resolution to call a primary election on Tuesday, August 11, 2026, if state filings trigger the requirement. The resolution—moved by Alan Zeithamer and seconded by Laura Knudsen—details precinct and polling place use, ballot preparation and rotation rules under Minnesota law, posting and publication requirements, and the clerk’s responsibilities for campaign finance reports. The motion passed Ayes 6, Nays 0.
The resolution instructs the clerk to cooperate with county auditors, to post notice and sample ballots in specified timeframes, and to make campaign financial reports available on the district website within statutory timeframes. It also authorizes acquiring and distributing election materials and specifies that the primary will only be held if filings require it under Minnesota Statutes, Section 205A.03 and related provisions.
