Lake Election Board finalizes precinct consolidation, split recommendations
The Lake County Board of Elections met in special session to take a look at all 350 precincts and determine to consolidate or split them.
The meeting, held on Wednesday, lasted for close to four hours as board members voted on precinct information provided by Michelle Fajman, election board director and Jessica Messler, assistant director.
Board president Kevin Smith said re-precincting is something that has to be done by each county every four years.
“It’s a statutory obligation to review and recommend to the secretary of state,” Smith said.
