Court combines two small precincts and affirms polling places for Nov. 3, 2026

Elections staff explained that redistricting added two precincts earlier in the year and that state law requires one polling place for every two precincts. To avoid adding an extra polling place for the Nov. 3, 2026 general election, staff proposed combining precincts 104 and 125 for this election only.

"With redistricting that happened at the end of last year, beginning of this year, we had to add 2 additional election precincts to our county, and there's a state law that requires us to have 1 polling place for every 2 precincts," an elections official told the court. Staff noted the combination is temporary and that all results will continue to be reported as if the precincts were separate.

The court approved the order to combine 104 and 125 for this election and later approved the polling locations that had been used in the primary; both motions passed without opposition.
