County says Round Valley cannot have an in-person polling place in Nov.; item deferred until 2026
Summary
Elections staff told the council that because Round Valley did not have a polling place for the primary, it cannot be granted one for the November general election; establishing a polling place requires continuous staffing of four people and the council tabled the item until prior to the 2026 primary.
Kay Richards reported that election official Katrina Bartolomie told the council Round Valley would not receive an in-person polling place for the November 2024 general election because the community lacked one during the primary. Officials said creating a polling place would require staffing four people at all times, which poses logistical challenges in the small community.
Council members agreed to table the matter for a longer period and revisit it ahead of the 2026 primary election to allow planning for staffing and logistics.
