In a recent government meeting, officials outlined preparations for an upcoming election expected to draw between 6,000 and 7,000 voters over a four-day period. The meeting focused on logistical arrangements, including road closures and parking management to ensure a smooth voting process.
The designated road closure will take place from the 29th to the 2nd, with specific measures in place to facilitate voter access. Officials emphasized the need for two vehicles to be stationed at both ends of the road closure to manage traffic effectively. Additionally, canopy tents will be set up to protect voters waiting in line, as the polling hours may extend beyond the official closing time if individuals are still in line by the cutoff.
Parking arrangements were also a key topic, with plans to restrict parking around the election board to handicap-accessible spaces only. Local businesses have been notified of the changes, and some have agreed to close temporarily to allow voters to use their parking facilities. Officials anticipate that these measures will accommodate approximately 120 cars per hour, with potential spikes in demand.
To further assist with traffic management, officials will request additional cones to be placed at strategic locations to guide voters and protect business parking areas. The meeting concluded with a commitment to ensure that all necessary preparations are in place to facilitate a successful election.
