An elections official (Michelle) corrected media coverage that had said the county would seek alternate polling locations for an upcoming special election. She told the board the county will retain traditional polling sites and will issue a press release with the schools to notify the public.

Michelle said there will be 13 polling locations in total: "12 of them are in Sioux City, and 1 of them is at the Lawton Community Center." She said she has met with election staff and school officials, will meet the new superintendent the next day, and expects a joint press release later in the week to advise voters about locations and potential traffic impacts during student drop‑off and pick‑up times.
