DATE: May 3, 1984 County
SUBJECT: County Facilities as Polling Places
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
Board of Supervisors establish policy authorizing the designation of County
facilities as polling. places as identified by Assistant County Registrar and
approved by County Administrator.
BACKGROUND:
During the preparation for the June 5, 1984 Primary election, County Election
Department staff have found it very difficult to obtain suitable polling places
in certain parts of the County. One option available to the department is to
use public buildings under control of the Board of Supervisors. In order to
meet Election Code deadlines to publish location of all polling places, Lon
Underwood, Assistant Registrar of Voters, has recommended that the Board adopt
a policy statement that any public building under the control of the Board shall
be used as a polling place if the County Clerk--Elections requires the use of
the building.
Upon review, the Office of the County Administrator concurs that there is an
immediate problem facing the Election staff in obtaining polling places and that
one source of polling places is the public buildings under control of the Board
of Supervisors. ' In addition, it is our finding that the requisition of such
space should be reviewed by our office .in order that the conflicting needs of the
Election Department and the operating departments can be resolved with as little
disruption in public service as possible.
We recommend that the policy statement submitted by the Assistant County Registrar
be revised to reflect this finding.
