Update report on voting

ENCLOSURES:
At the November 19, 2002 per the request of the City Commission, this office was
directed through motion # 02-1221 that the City Manager, City Clerk and City Attorney
work together with the Net Office and the Community Relations Board to define the
problems that were isolated right after the November 5, 2002 elections.
During the primary elections on September 10, 2002, the voters faced many challenges
such as polls opening late due to the IVotronic machines not working properly, polls
closing early despite a mandate from the Governor's office to stay open late. Allegations
of improperly trained workers, language barriers, lack of appropriate polling places
where some of the issues raised. One of the more extreme case involved residents of a
senior citizen building where there was a polling precinct within the building yet the
residents were asked to vote somewhere else, forced to travel beyond their physical
abilities.
The City of Miami Commissioners concerned about the community, passed a resolution
on October 29, 2002 mandating that the Community Relations Board conduct an informal
survey to get a sense of the voter's experience at the polls. A survey was conducted and
a variety of discrepancies were found.
Since then a committee has been formed and has met on different occasions, members of
this committee include the City Clerk and staff, Net . Director and staff, Community
Relations Coordinator and members of the CRB. So far the findings will be reported on
the April 10 commission meeting by members of this committee.
Attached please find copies of maps of each commissioner's district voting precinct
boundaries and other pertinent information that goes along with this report.
