City of Evart amends early voting agreement to add Hersey Township; no new equipment required
Summary
The City of Evart amended the Early Voting Joint Municipal Agreement to add Hersey Township; the township will use its own equipment and a small rental fee was added to the agreement. City Clerk Andrea Grupido is researching cost-saving measures ahead of a planned 2027 equipment purchase.
The City of Evart work session on Feb. 17, 2026 recorded an amendment to the Early Voting Joint Municipal Agreement to add Hersey Township. The minutes state that Hersey Township already has the equipment required to operate an early voting site, so the city will not need to buy new voting machines for that location; the agreement now includes a small rental fee for equipment use.
City Clerk Andrea Grupido is overseeing the administrative changes and noted the amendment as part of preparations for future elections. The minutes place the equipment replacement decision in 2027, and the amended agreement is recorded as the mechanism for sharing equipment and recouping a modest rental fee rather than triggering an immediate purchase. No formal motion text or vote tally is recorded in the minutes.
