boundary line between Precinct 17 and Precinct 18. She stated due to voter registration numbers the
Clerk's Office is forced to make this change. There can only be 1,500 registered voters in a precinct.
She stated she does not have a mylar as the changes in the Representative and Senate Districts only
occurred on February 22, 2002. She stated the map will also reflect the new precinct numbering system,
which will reflect the Congressional District, Senate District, Representative District, Commissioner
District and precinct numbers. She requested the Board approve the changes and authorize the
Commissioners to sign the mylar when completed.
Chairman Gallagher asked if there was a requirement that the district boundaries match the
district boundaries.
Ms. Fisher stated they are supposed to but are based on different figures, one on population and
the other is based on registered voters. It would have been nice if the Commissioner District lines
followed precinct boundary lines.
Chairman Gallagher questioned the changes in the numbering system.
She stated there will be no further changes in the boundary lines only the numbering system.
Commissioner Menconi asked about the basic purpose of the precincts.
Ms. Fisher stated in a practical sense they contribute to the Caucus process. It is a division of a
manageable number of people in a surrounding area. She stated the delegates that go to the County
Assembly are chosen based on the number of precincts and the number of voters in those precincts.
Commissioner Menconi moved to approve Resolution 2002-040 allowing for the changes in the
precincts and legal descriptions and approval of the Election Precinct Map as presented and said map
shall be the current election map used. The Board shall be authorized to sign said map when complete.
