Thinking about voting - local elections
Oct. 31st, 2016 01:40 pmOkay, it's not that hard to find out where my polling place is.
It's not even too difficult to be reminded which ward-precinct I am in (since I got yanked out of Ward 10 and moved to Ward 8 I have been unable to remember).
But how the hell do you find out which Park District, School Board District, Hennepin County Commissioner District you are in? There used to be maps online and I can't find ANY of them. I've just given up completely on the Soil and Water Conservation Board. Is that even an elective office anymore? And is there still a Library Board?
Anybody have links to voting district maps?
ETA: Okay, I found a map for Hennepin County Commisioner Districts, but it is hella misleading. What this map says to me is that I am in District 4 (Minneapolis). But when I drilled down a couple of clicks to a more detailed map it turned out I'm in District 3, which is labeled St. Louis Park on the larger map. Terrible.
