Summary

This election was the first in which the Town was divided into two precincts (precinct map) as a result of the new redistricting. The main concern for the Town was to maintain two sets of records, one for each precinct. Everything went very smoothly at the polls with the exception that the County had listed the address of a few individuals in the wrong precinct. This was sorted out relatively quickly. Overall, we were very pleased with the organization and logistics of the election.

The Town thanks the great work of the election judges including:  Marcy Heinen, Zoe Graul, Shirley Cox, Ken Mergen, Idella Moore, Bev Nathe, LaDonna Reisdorf, Eleanor Kraemer, Jane Merdan, LaDonna Reisdorf, Sue Rushmeyer, Richard Beach, Sharon Beach, and head judges Kelly Martini and Stephen Saupe.
