2020 General Election - Large Voting Centers

The request was partially successful.

Dear Passaic County Board of Elections,

Under OPRA and the common law right of access, please provide:
1) documents, memorandums, lists, spreadsheets, or other records sufficient to show the names and locations of all "large voting centers" that were open in the county for the November 3, 2020 general election
2) a complete list of the names and locations of all polling places for the 2019 general election
3) a complete list of the names and locations of all polling places for the 2020 general election

It is my understanding that, in the 2020 general election, the county did not establish the minimum 50% of the polling places that were in place for the 2019 general election, and the Board of Elections was thus required to open "large voting centers" per Executive Order #177.

Please feel free to contact me regarding this request at the phone number below.

Yours faithfully,

Charlie Kratovil
