Board adopts resolution establishing combined polling places for ISD 2172 elections
Summary
The school board adopted a resolution (7-0) naming Wanamingo Community Center and Kenyon Fire Hall as combined polling places for district elections not held on statewide election days, and authorized required notification to county auditors and affected households per Minnesota law.
The Kenyon-Wanamingo School Board unanimously adopted a resolution on Nov. 25 establishing combined polling places for school district elections not held on the same day as statewide elections. Member Debb Paquin introduced and moved adoption of the resolution, with Tonya Craig seconding; the resolution was approved on a roll call vote of 7-0.
The resolution designates the Wanamingo Community Center (401 Main St., Wanamingo) and the Kenyon Fire Hall (620 Centennial Drive, Kenyon) as combined polling places for specified precincts within ISD 2172. The board cited Minnesota Statutes Section 205A.11 for authority to confirm precincts and to establish combined polling places, Minnesota Statutes Section 205A.09 for voting hours (7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.), and Section 204B.16 for required written notice to affected households. The board recorded that it will not adopt a new resolution unless there is a change; a new resolution would be required only if combined polling places change or a related legislative deadline applies.
