ANALYSIS:
Aspart ofredistricting, voting precinct lines need to be reviewed and possibly redrawn. With
regard to the administration of elections, some precincts are very small and others exceed the
limit of 1500 voters. After review by Auditor's Office Election staff, the current, and
additional proposed, voting precincts will meet the criteria established in RCW 29A.l6.040
FISCAL IMPACT:
