RE: precincts vs. polling locations.

["Burrus, James" <jburrus@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

 

Peter,

  The number of polling places in Boulder County (precincts) is 227. There are three extra "precincts" assigned, respectively, to absentee ballots received from overseas for people voting here but with no mailing address (such as servicemen and women) for the 2nd and 4th congressional districts. There is a third "precinct" that is assigned to landowners who are eligible to vote on special taxing district questions (such as the Gold Hill and Eldorado Springs questions) who do not live there but can vote because they own property that could be taxed.

   Does that answer your question?

Paul Tiger (Some Guy) and all;

 

Thanks for the information, below - precincts vs. polling locations.

 

I had asked some of my friends in the local media the same question, and they had no idea of what the answer was....

 

I have shown the chart below again, which caused the confusion and questions.  This is from the Boulder  County Clerk website as of yesterday afternoon, Monday.

 

On one line, it says 'Completed Precincts: 230 of 230'

 

On the same line in the following chart, it say 'Completed Precincts: 227 of 227'

 

Does this explain what you believe is the answer ??

 

And following your answer, I would argue there are 231 polling locations in Boulder County.

 

1. Boulder County Courthouse

2. 33rd St.  County Clerks office.

3. Longmont

4. Louisville

 

227 precincts  + 4 = 231

 

Now what do you say ?

 

It would be helpful to all if the County Clerk could explain such anomolies, on their website.

 

Bye,  Peter Richards

There are 227 precincts and 230 polling locations. The precincts plus the clerks offices in Longmont, Boulder, and Louisville. 230 = 227 + 3

Don’t try to make in more mysterious than it is.

Neal;

 

Is this the chart you are referring to, in your explanation below.

 

Another question - why does one chart say '230 of 230' precincts, and the lower chart says '227 of 227' precincts ?

 

How many precincts are there in Boulder County ??

 

Bye,  Peter Richards
