3 polling sites eliminated for school elections
Published Wednesday, June 10, 2009
The Austin Public School District will be reducing the number of polling places from nine to six, beginning with the November election.
School board members voted Monday to eliminate Austin, Lansing and Oakland town hall sites, which include Austin, Lyle, Windom, Lansing, Red Rock, Udolpho and Waltham townships in Mower County, and Newry, Oakland, London and Moscow townships in Freeborn County.
The upcoming election will be the first in which the district will use electronic voting equipment from Mower County. Due to the cost of election judges and voting equipment, the county auditor has recommending reducing the number of polling sites. The changes will save the district about $1,400.
Remaining polling sites include:
• Austin Public Library — Lansing, Red Rock, Udolpho and Waltham townships in Mower County and Ward 1, Precinct 1
• Austin High School — Ward 1, Precinct 2 (includes Mapleview)
• Southgate Elementary — Ward 2, Precinct 1
• Banfield Elementary — Newry, Oakland, London and Moscow townships in Freeborn County and Ward 2, Precinct 2
• Austin, Lyle and Windom townships in Mower County and Ward 3, Precinct 1
• Ellis Middle School — Ward 3, Precinct 2
