New City Voting Precinct Boundaries will Affect Some Duluth Voters in Upcoming Primary Election

[DULUTH, MN] In response to the 2020 census, the City of Duluth was required to redraw the boundaries of election districts to ensure that the people of each district are equally represented. In March of 2022, the City Council established new boundaries that equalize (as nearly as possible) the number of people in each council district. In addition, as part of the redistricting process, the council established new precinct boundaries, creating some changes in voting locations for some residents of select parts of the city.

Due to the state of Minnesota dividing the Gary-New Duluth neighborhood into two separate legislative districts, the boundaries of precincts 33 and 34 were required to be redrawn. In the new precinct maps, residents along the east side of Commonwealth Avenue who previously voted in precinct 34 now belong to precinct 33. This means those affected voters in the precinct will now vote at the Good Fellowship Community Center in Morgan Park, 1242 88th Avenue West, Duluth. Voters in precinct 34 will continue to vote at GND REC, 801 101st Avenue West, Duluth.

Additionally, precinct 20 was eliminated from the district maps. Voters in the area previously established as precinct 20 were shifted into either precinct 19 or precinct 21. To verify your polling place, please go to https://pollfinder.sos.state.mn.us/ and use the polling place finder.

Primary Election Day is next Tuesday, August 9th. Polls open at 7:00 AM and close at 8:00 PM. Early voting is also available during regular business hours at City Hall in the City Clerk’s Office through Friday, August 5th, as well as Saturday, August 6th from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM and Monday, August 8th from 8:30 AM until 5:00 PM.
