The legislature made some changes to election law in 2017. The city is now required to designate polling places by resolution for each precinct by December 31 each year for the next calendar year.

It is believed that the legislature is seeking to lessen voter confusion and frustration as it relates to voters' perceptions of "ever changing" poll places from one election to another.
