§ 10306 Election Notice And Procedures

• •The commission must pick precinct boards and decide where voting will happen, following the city charter.
• •Election notices must be in a city newspaper or posted for at least 20 days if there’s no newspaper.
• •Printed voter lists aren’t required; a voter can swear they’re on the list if someone questions their eligibility.

The city is holding a mayoral election. The commission picks the voting locations and posts signs around town for at least 20 days because the city has no local newspaper. On election day, a resident goes to vote, but their name isn’t on the printed list. They swear under oath that they think they’re on the list, and the precinct board accepts their word.

The commission follows the rule to choose voting spots and give notice, and the precinct board can let a voter vote even if their name isn’t on the list, as long as they honestly say they believe they’re on it.
