The adoption of reestablished precinct boundaries and polling places becomes effective on the date of the state primary election in the year ending in two.

Pursuant to MS 204B.14, if precinct boundaries are reestablished, the city council must re-designate polling places for each election precinct. The Charter Commission met February 23, 2022 and recommended changes to the precinct boundaries. Therefore, the polling places must be re-designated.
