Ward boundaries <br />must be adopted by ordinance and the precinct lines and polling locations should be adopted by <br />resolution. <br />Precincts are used for organizing and administering elections. Precinct lines must follow census block <br />lines and clearly visible physical features, such as street and rivers, but they don't need to meet the equal <br />population requirement. <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />Ordinance Establishing New Ward Boundaries <br />Resolution Establishing Precincts and Polling Places <br />Map of Ward and Precinct Boundaries and Polling Locations (to be used for attaching to both <br />the ordinance and the resolution) <br />Action Motion by Second by Vote <br />Follow Up <br />re�rEn <br />M \Departments \Administrative Services \Administration \Elections \Redistricting \2011 \040212 CC Ord Res f I I T r <br />Adoption.docx <br />
