16-413. Precincts; special district
boundaries
A. Except as provided in subsection D of this section, the governing body of a
special district, except a district organized under title 48, chapter 17, shall establish
district election precincts that have the same boundaries as county election precincts
pursuant to section 16-411 and designate one polling place within each precinct. In
those cases where a district boundary bisects a county election precinct, that portion of
the election precinct that is within the district shall be the district election
precinct. The governing body may consolidate district election precincts if it deems it
necessary and designate one polling place for the election precincts it consolidates.
B. The governing body shall provide the county recorder with a description of the
district election precincts no later than sixty days before an election for which
signature rosters are to be prepared.
C. In elections to establish special districts, the board of supervisors shall act
as the governing body for purposes of this section.
D. If an election is a mail ballot election, the governing body shall not designate
polling places but shall determine the number and location of sites where ballots may be
returned.
