Council considers changing banner wording after voters were confused
Summary
The county auditor asked the council to remove or modify a banner that said 'vote here' because some voters mistakenly thought the Grange was an official polling place; election volunteers reported people showed up with ballots. Council members agreed to keep the election day the same and to consult the county auditor after the season about new wording.
Daina reported that the county auditor advised the council to remove a banner that read "vote here" because several people interpreted it as indicating the Grange was an official polling place. Gini Bright, the election volunteer coordinator, told the council that people had in fact shown up at the Grange with ballots during the election season.
Council members discussed options for altering the banner wording and decided to keep the official election day unchanged. Daina said she will approach the county auditor after the current election season to explore acceptable alternative wording. Positions noted in the minutes: Keep election day the same — Jim, Tom, Dave, Joanna, Travis; Indifferent — Lucas, Pat.
