>> IS THAT CONSENT AGENDA. NOW OPEN FORUM.

[5. Open Forum]

MR. MAGNUS. FIRST -- THERE'S A THREE-MINUTE TIME LIMIT. I WILL ADVICE YOU WHEN

[00:35:03]

THERE'S ONE MINUTE. >> THERE ARE VERY FEW TOPICS THAT INCREASE MY SENSE OF OUTRAGE THAN DOES THE TERM ABATEMENT. BECAUSE IT MEANS THE COUNTY IS GOING TO ALLOW A SPECIFIC BUSINESS TO OPERATE WITHOUT PAYING TAXES. NORMALLY THE PURPOSE TO INCREASE EMPLOYMENT. ONCE THE FOUNDATION IS BUILT. THEY SEEM TO OPERATE INDEPENDENTLY WITH ONLY LIMITED MAINTENANCE REQUIRED. IT IS SELF-CONTAINED UNIT AND THEY CAN BE EASILY MOVED.

BASED ON THE TRAFFIC MOVING NORTH ON 281 MANY OF THE UNITS ARE BEING RELOCATED OR GETTING NEW PARTS.

THE NEXT ITEM IS THAT DO THEY IMPROVE THE ECONOMY OF THE AREA? IF THESE UNITS ARE SELF-CONTAINED, THERE IS NO INCREASE AND THE IMPACT OF THE ABILITY OF THE ELECTRICITY IS NEGLIGABLE.

WHAT IS THE POINT? IF THEY WERE TO LEAVE, THEY WOULD -- THERE WOULD BE NO CHANGES IN THE PRICE OF ELECTRICITY. ALL THAT IS HAPPENING IS THAT THE COUNTY IS GIVING AWAY MONEY TO VERY RICH COMPANIES. THE ANSWER THAT ALWAYS COMES TO BACK IS -- BUT IS NOT COSTING US ANY MONEY AND THE PROPERTY OWNERS ARE BENEFITTING, IF THIS IS THE ANSWER, I HAVE A LIST OF COMPANIES THAT WOULD BE BENEFIT FROM AN ABATEMENT PROGRAM STARTING WITH ALL THE BUSINESSES THAT WERE CLOSED BECAUSE THEY WERE DEEMED NONESSENTIAL. I RECOMMEND GIVING EACH OF THOSE BUSINESSES THAT CLOSED FOR THE COUNTY'S EMERGENCY ACTION A YEAR OF PAYING -- NOT PAYING ANY TAXES. SO THEY CAN REOPEN AND THE ONES THAT ARE OPEN ARE STRUGGLING.

HOW ABOUT HELPING THEM. NO TAXES FOR ONE YEAR.

THIS IS WHAT THE COUNTY IS DOING TO REFERENCE TO THE ENERGY COMPANY. WE NEED AN INVESTIGATION CONCERNING HOW PROPERTY VALUE CAN INCREASE WHILE PEOPLE ARE SHELTERED IN PLACE AND BUSINESSES ARE CLOSED. TODAY ON THE AGENDA I WAS LOOKING WE HAVE 19 PEOPLE THAT ARE BEING PAID $80,000 AND ABOVE. WE HAVE 15 EMPLOYEES THAT ARE BEING PAID $90,000 OR ABOVE.

WE CERTAINLY DO PAY WELL FOR A LOT OF THESE DEPARTMENT HEADS AND STUFF. WHENEVER THE LITTLE PEOPLE THE ONE THAT ARE PAYING THE BILLS, THEY ARE BARELY MAKING IT. I SEE ON TV THAT WE'RE HELPING WITH FOOD AND SHELTER AND CLOTHING.

I WONDER WHY? IS THAT BECAUSE THE TAXES ARE SO HIGH AND YOU ALL KEEP SPENDING IT LIKE ITS COMES OFF TREES. IT'S EASY.

AND EACH ONE OF YOU LOOKING DOWN ACCEPT FOR PRECINCT ONE. I DO APPRECIATE YOU LOOKING ME IN THE EYES. I DO APPRECIATE THAT.

THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU, MA'AM.

>> MR. MAGNUS. >> NEXT UP WE HAVE DELORES

DEL RIO. >> THERE'S A THREE-MINUTE

TIME LIMIT. >> I UNDERSTAND.

THANK YOU. >> YOU KNOW I CAME LAST WEEK AND YOU ALL DIDN'T SHOW UP. WHAT HAPPENED? STRANGE. REGULAR PUBLIC MEETING -- WHAT HAPPENED? I KNOW THIS IS CALLED A COURT. BUT YOU ALL CAN'T ANSWER BECAUSE IF IT WAS A REAL COURT THEN YOU WOULD HAVE A PETITION, AND THEN THAN ANSWER AND PETITION AND ANSWER. BUT STRANGELY YOU ALL JUST DIDN'T SHOW UP FOR WORK. AND AS ONE OF YOUR 900,000 EMPLOYERS HERE THAT PAY YOUR WAGES, THE LEAST THAT WE CAN ASK THAT YOU ALL SHOW UP ON TIME, SOBER, AND TAKE DIRECTION. THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN LAST WEEK. I JUST WANTED TO KNOW WHY.

I KNOW YOU CAN'T ANSWER. BECAUSE THIS IS REALLY A COURT. IT'S NOT A FORUM.

WHAT IS THIS? I'M A STUDENT OF RITUAL.

HAVE BEEN ALL MY LIFE. SO YOUR ON AN ELEVATED DIAS AND SOME OF YOU HAVE COSTUMED MASKS ON.

ON OBSTESIVELY TO KEEP YOURSELVES WELL.

I WONDER HOW WE CAN HELP YOU TO SHOW UP ON TIME IN REGULARLY SCHEDULED MEETING. IS THAT AN ISSUE WITH YOU? BECAUSE AS AN EMPLOYER, YOU KNOW I ALWAYS APPRECIATE WHEN PEOPLE EMPLOYEES COME TO US WITH SUGGESTIONS AND COMPLAINTS. BECAUSE AS FAR AS I KNOW I HAVEN'T HEARD ANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT YOUR SALARY CHECKS

[00:40:03]

BOUNCING. I WILL KEEP SHOWING UP AND CHECKING ON YOU. BECAUSE I LOVE OUR COMMUNITY. YOU ARE ALL LEADERS IN THAT

COMMUNITY. >> ONE MINUTE.

>> THANK YOU. >> AND TAXES KEEP GOING UP.

AND WE'RE AT THE VERY LAST FIVE DAYS OF THIS MONTH TO PREVENT SLAVERY AND SEX TRAFFICKING.

AND I WONDER HOW THAT IS GOING.

BECAUSE THE PHOTO-OP THAT HAPPENED A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO, SEEMS LIKE THEATER. RATHER THAN YOU KNOW YOU RELY ON THE LAW ENFORCEMENT TO DO THAT.

I JUST WANT TO ENCOURAGE YOU ALL TO QUESTION YOURSELF ABOUT WHAT A LEADER IS, WHAT THEY DO.

THAT'S DISCUSSION AND APPROVAL OF REVISED APPLICATION FOR USE OF CORONAVIRUS RESPONSE AND RELIEF SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATION ACT TRRSA AND AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN ARFA FUNDS.

WE HAVE RECEIVED 5.25 MILLION DOLLARS PLUS AND WE HAD DESIGNATED THE FUNDS TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE OUTDOOR SPACES AFTER REVIEWING THE INFORMATION WITH MEMBERS OF THE POLICY COUNCIL AND COMMISSIONER'S COURT WE HAD DETERMINED THAT WE HAVE TO LOOK AT ONE OTHER BIG ITEM AND THAT IS OUR STAFF. WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO RECOGNIZE THE COURT SUSTAIN AND RETAIN OUR STAFF.

IN ADDITION TO FUNDING FOR THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT, WE HAVE GONE IN THERE AND LOOKED AT HOW WE COULD BE ABLE TO REDUCE THE SIZE AND MAINTAIN OUTDOOR SPACES WHICH WE HAVE DONE WITH THE ARCHITECT.

AT THIS TIME I WOULD LIKE TO PRESENT TO YOU THE PROPOSAL THAT THE POLICY COUNCIL HAS ALREADY REVIEWED AND AGREED UPON. AND IT'S IN THE PAGES ATTACHED SO THAT WE COULD BE ABLE TO PROVIDE A PROGRAM SIMILAR TO THE COUNTIES PROGRAM PREMIUM PAY PROGRAM TO WHERE IT IS EQUIVALENT IN THE DISTRIBUTION OF THE FUND AS WELL AS THE TIME THAT WE LOOKING AT AND THE STAFF.

HAVING DETERMINED THAT OUR STAFF ARE CRITICAL STAFF AND HAVE BEEN PROVIDING SERVICES SINCE AFTER THE MANDATE FOR STAYING AT HOME WAS LIFTED. WE BELIEVE THAT IT WOULD BE ONLY -- IT WOULD BE WISE FOR US TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT.

IN ADDITION, WE HAVE HAD VERY LARGE TURN OVER RATES FROM OUR STAFF, OUR STAFF OR ASSISTANT TEACHER HAVE MORE THAN TRIPLED IN THE LAST YEAR.

WE'RE TRYING TO SEE HOW WE CAN CONTINUE TO MAINTAIN THE STAFF AND RIGHT NOW WE HAVE A LOT OF VACANCIES.

WE'RE PROPOSING TO HAVE THE RETENTION.

WHAT WE CALL RETENTION AND IT IS A TOTAL OF 2,216,396.

REMAINDER OF WHICH WILL THEN BE ALLOCATED TO DUE THE PROJECT THAT WE'RE DOING. WE ONLY HAD TO REMOVE ONE BIG BUILDING, WHICH IS THE BIG CANOPY THAT WE HAD PUT TOGETHER.

FROM 40 TO 60 WILL BE ABLE TO GET 3,000.

FROM 60 AND ABOVE YOU WILL BE ABLE TO GET 2500.

AND THEN THE PART-TIME WOULD GIVE HALF OF THE 3500.

AND THEN THERE'S THE OTHER SITUATION HAVING TO DO WITH EMPLOYEES EMPLOYED PRIOR TO AUGUST 2ND AND WORKING THROUGH DECEMBER THE 18TH WITH THIS RIGHT BEFORE THE HOLIDAYS. I'M NOT SURE YOU HAVE ANY PARTICULAR QUESTIONS ABOUT IT.

WE HAVE BEEN IN TOUCH WITH THE OFFICE OF HEAD START.

AND HAVE BEEN WORKING TO DETAILS ABOUT GETTING APPROVAL. THEY'VE ASKED SEVERAL QUESTIONS WHO ARE RESPONDING TO QUESTIONS.

BUT WE BELIEVE THAT THEY WILL BE ABLE TO SUPPORT OUR

PROPOSAL. >> AT THIS TIME, POSITION IS ANSWERING ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE ABOUT THIS INCENTIVE. RETENTION INCENTIVE PAY PAUSE THAT WE ARE PROPOSING TO USE IN LESS THAN HALF OF PROJECTED FUNDS. AND THE OTHER COAST FUNDS THAT WE RECEIVED IN APRIL AND MAY OF LAST YEAR.

[01:10:02]

>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. NEXT WOULD BE FOR US TO GET THE OFFICE OF HEAD START FINAL BLESSING ON IT.

AND THEN WE WILL MOVE ON TO THIS FUNDS.

I KNOW THE STAFF HAS BEEN QUITE CONCERNED ABOUT BEING ABLE TO GET SOMETHING, YOU KNOW.

AND WE WILL BE WORKING HARD TO GET IT OUT AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. THE NEXT ITEM IS DISCUSSION OF APPROVAL OF CHANGES TO THE COVID-19 VACCINE AND MASK REQUIREMENT. .

[16. Elections Administration:]

>> GOOD AFTERNOON. COMMISSIONERS.

I'M WITH THE ELECTION OFFICE WITH ELECTION UPDATE.

I WILL LIKE TO START OFF BY SHOWING EVERYONE IF YOU COULD SEE THIS IT'S THE VOTER REGISTRATION CARD THAT WE HOPE TO BE SENDING IN THE MAIL AS EARLY AS THE END OF THIS WEEK OR EARLY NEXT WEEK.

I GOT A CALL FROM THE VENDOR.

[01:15:02]

HALF OF HIS OFFICE GOT INFECTED WITH COVID.

AND THEY'VE BEEN TRYING TO WORK 24-HOUR CYCLES IN GETTING OUR REGISTRATION CARDS PRINTED.

HE ASSURES ME IN A COUPLE OF DAYS, WE SHOULD BE GETTING EVERYTHING READY TO MAIL. ONCE AGAIN, BE LOOKING OUT FOR YOUR VOTER REGISTRATION CARD.

THAT WILL BE IN THE MAIL. KEEP IN MIND, IF YOU DON'T RECEIVE YOUR CARD BY THE END OF THE MONTH, PLEASE CALL THE OFFICE. OBVIOUSLY, SOMETHING THE WRONG. THE BEST THING TO DO IS CORRECT IT BEFORE WE HEAD TO THE POLES BEFORE THE PRIMARY. NUMBER 2 IF YOUSEF SOMEONE ELS CAR. DON'T THROW IT AWAY OR IN THE DRAWER. INSTEAD IF THE PERSON NO LONGER LIVES THERE ON THE BACKSIDE SIMPLY WRITE A BRIEF EXPLANATION. YOU CAN TOSS IT IN THE MAIL.

IT WILL COME BACK TO US FREE, NO POSTAGE PAID.

OR YOU CAN CALL US. YOU CAN COME DROP BY THE OFFICE. BECAUSE THIS IS HOW WE KEEP UP WITH OUR UPDATES WHEN A PERSON DOES NOT ADVICE THE OFFICE THAT THEY'VE MOVED OR HAD A NAME CHANGE, THESE TYPES OF MAIL-OUT WOULD HELP UPDATE THE RECORD.

THAT'S WHAT WE ARE ALWAYS WORKING ON.

KEEP IN MIND WE JUST FINISHED REDISTRICTING.

LOOK AT YOUR CARD WHEN YOUSEF IT IS YOU PRECINCT CHANGES. IF YOU HAVE QUESTION, GIVE

US A CALL. >> THE SECOND THING I HAVE TO TALK ABOUT MAIL BALLOTS AGAIN.

KEEP IN MIND THAT DO NOT USE AN OLD APPLICATION.

UP TO THIS MORNING WE HAD 100 APPLICATIONS REJECTED.

BECAUSE PEOPLE USED OLD APPLICATION.

WE WILL SEND YOU ONE. IT'S A BRAND-NEW APPLICATION THAT NOW REQUIRES NEW INFORMATION SPECIFICALLY FOR YOU TO WRITE IN YOUR I.D. WHAT WE ARE SUGGESTING IS FOR YOU TO GO AHEAD AND WRITE YOUR DRIVER'S LICENSE AND THE LAST FOUR DIGITS OF THE SOCIAL.

BECAUSE THE LAW REQUIRES THAT THE ID THAT YOU PUT APPLICATION MATCH THE VOTER REGISTRATION APPLICATION INFORMATION. MOST OF US WON'T REMEMBER WHAT NUMBER WE USED. GO AHEAD AND WRITE BOTH.

THAT WAY YOU -- IT'S NOT A HIT OR MISS.

THAT WAY YOUR APPLICATION GOES THROUGH.

NOW, THESE APPLICATIONS THAT WE'VE BEEN RECEIVING WONDERFUL; RIGHT? BUT IT'S IMPORTANT BECAUSE WE WON'T MEET AGAIN AND WE WILL HOPEFULLY START SENDING OUT BALLOTS AS SOON AS SOMETIME NEXT WEEK.

WHAT IS HOLDING THE TRAFFIC IS THAT WE HAD TO USE FOUR VENDORS IN ORDER TO PRINT THE NEW BALLOT CARRIERS THE NEW BALLOT ENVELOPES. AND I WILL SHOW YOU WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE. THERE'S A PAPER SHORTAGE.

THE TIME FRAME, THE WINDOW WE WERE GIVEN BY OUR LEGISLATORS IS SO SHORT. NO ONE COULD PROVIDE EVERYTHING. WE'VE DONE A GOOD JOB.

THANK YOU TO PURCHASING AND AUDITORS FOR HELPING US ALONG. BEFORE YOU WOULD BE LOOKING FOR ENVELOPE LIKE THIS. THIS IS A BIG GREEN ENVELOPE THAT CONTAINED YOUR BALLOT. NO LONGER, NO MORE GREEN ENVELOPE. THE STATE AND THE LEGISLATORS HAVE NOW AND I ONLY HAVE A PRINT COPY.

BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE THE PRINTED ONES FROM THE VENDORS YET. NOW IT'S GOING TO BE A WHITE ENVELOPE LIKE THIS. IT'S GOING TO HAVE OUR LOGO IN THE CENTER. OFFICIAL ELECTION MAIL.

AND THIS IS WHERE YOUR BALLOT WILL BE.

BE LOOKING OUT FOR A WHITE ENVELOPE, NO LONGER GREEN.

YOU WOULD RECEIVE YOUR BALLOT.

AND YOU WOULD PUT YOUR BALLOT IN A SECRECY ENVELOPE. YOU WILL DO THAT.

YOU WOULD MAIL IT BACK TO THE OFFICE IN A BIG YELLOW ENVELOPE THAT LOOKED LIKE THIS.

NO MORE. NOW THE ENVELOPE WILL BE WHITE WITH A PURPLE LINE. OKAY.

ON MY LEFT-HAND SIDE ON YOUR RIGHT-HAND SIDE, THAT'S WHAT IT WILL LOOK LIKE. MORE IMPORTANTLY, THAT WHAT THE ENVELOPE LOOKS LIKE IS THE BACK.

THE BACK IS SO IMPORTANT. JUST LIKE THE OLD ENVELOPE.

YOU HAVE TO SIGN ACROSS THE BACK BUT BEFORE YOU SIGN, MAKE SURE YOU READ THE INSIDE THE FLAP.

WHAT IS HAPPENING IS THAT ID THAT YOU PROVIDED ON THE APPLICATION WHICH WAS ACCEPTED HAS TO NOW ALSO BE ON THE BACKSIDE OF THIS ENVELOPE.

WHEN THE FLAP CLOSES, IT WILL BE SAFE AND SECURE UNDERNEATH. WHEN BALLOT BOARD RECEIVES IT. THEY WILL BE ABLE TO PULL THIS APART AND VERIFY NO LONGER JUST SIGNATURE AGAINST YOUR APPLICATION, BUT ALSO ALSO YOUR I.D.

PLEASE YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS CALL US.

LET'S MAKE SURE THAT HIDALGO COUNTY VOTERS ARE DOING THIS

[01:20:01]

CORRECTLY BY BEING INFORMED AND ALL OF YOU LISTENING ARE HELPING YOUR ELDER I WILL PARENTS AND NEIGHBORS, ANYONE WHO HAS AND NEEDS HELP.

WE NEED TO MAKE SURE OUR COUNTY IS DOING THIS RIGHT.

NOW ASIDE FROM DOING THAT. I ENCOURAGE EVERYONE IT HAS NOW AN AREA FOR PHONE INFORMATION AND YOUR E-MAIL.

PUT THIS ON THERE. WRITE IT ON.

WHEN YOU SEAL YOUR ENVELOPE, ALL THAT INFORMATION WILL NOT BE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. IT WILL BE SEALED AND CLOSED UP SO NOBODY WILL BE ABLE TO GET YOUR PERSONAL AN IMPORTANT INFORMATION. IF YOU WRITE YOUR PHONE AND YOUR E-MAIL, WHAT THAT WILL DO IS WHEN BALLOT BOARD GETS YOUR NEW VERY NICE LOOKING CARRIER ENVELOPE.

IF THEY SEE THERE'S AN ISSUE.

BALLOT BOARD IS ABLE TO CALL YOU TO E-MAIL YOU BECAUSE NOW THE LAW ALLOWS YOU TO HAVE SIX DAYS JUST LIKE PROVISIONAL VOTING TO CURE YOUR CARRIER ENVELOPE.

WHAT THAT MEANS, IS THAT AFTER ELECTION DAY, YOU HAVE SIX MORE DAYS IN WHICH TO COME AND FIX ANY PROBLEM THAT YOU MAY HAVE ON YOUR CARRIER ENVELOPE.

THAT'S A GREAT THING. WE ALL WANT YOUR BALLOT TO COUNT. BUT EVERYTHING IN THIS NEW LAW THAT'S VERY, VERY STRICT SAYS, THAT THIS INFORMATION MUST BE CORRECTLY FILLED OUT.

SO MUCH SHOW THEY ARE GIVING YOU SIX DAYS AFTER ELECTION DAY TO MAKE SURE THAT THE INFORMATION IS CORRECT AND YOU HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO CORRECT THE INFORMATION.

ONCE AGAIN YOU HAVE A QUESTION, E-MAIL US, CALL US, LET'S DO THIS RIGHT HIDALGO COUNTY VOTERS.

THIS IS SO IMPORTANT. THE EARLIER YOU SEND IN OUR APPLICATION. THE EARLIER YOU KNOW IF YOU HAVE CHANGES THAT YOU HAVE TO MAKE.

AND THE SOONER YOU MAIL YOUR MAIL BALLOT CARRIER ENVELOPE BACK, THE MORE TIME YOU WILL HAVE TO MAKE ANY CORRECTION IF NECESSARY. I KNOW THAT'S A LOT OF INFORMATION. WE'RE TRYING OUR HAVE VERY, VERY BEST TO LEARN IT. SO THAT WE CAN THEN TEACH EVERYONE AND BE ABLE TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS CORRECTLY. EVERY COMMISSIONER'S COURT I WILL TRY TO UPDATE YOU WITH SOMETHING DIFFERENT IN THE LAW. AND WE HOPE THAT WE CAN WORK TOGETHER AND MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE ALL WORKING UNITED SO THAT OUR ELECTIONS ARE SUCCESSFUL.

AND NO ONE, NO ONE IS TURNED AWAY FROM CASTING THEIR

BALLOT. >> I KNOW YOU DON'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR ME. IF YOU DO, I'M AVAILABLE AND READY TO ANSWER THEM. IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS FOR ME, LATER ON I WILL TALK TO YOU NEXT COMMISSIONERS COURT I WILL TALK TO YOU ABOUT SOMETHING ELSE IN THE LAW WHICH IS BALLOT TRACKER. VERY, VERY IMPORTANT FOR YOU VOTE BY MAIL. YOU WILL BE ABLE TO TRACK ON THOSE SECRETARY OF STATE'S WEB SITE EXACTLIES Y YOUR -- EV WITH YOUR BALLOT.

THAT'S UP-AND-COMING. I WILL TALK TO YOU ABOUT

NEXT TIME. >> MY SECOND ITEM.

IS NUMBER 2. DISCUSSION CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL OF EARLY VOTING POLLING LOCATIONS FOR THE MARCH 1ST, 2022 PRIMARY ELECTIONS.

AS WE ALL KNOW THE COMMISSIONER'S COURT IS TO RESPONSIBLE AUTHORITY FOR APPROVING THE EARLY VOTE POLLING LOCATIONS WHEN IT COMES TO A PRIMARY.

THE PARTIES BOTH PARTIES ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR SELECTING THEIR POLLING LOCATIONS ON ELECTION DAY.

THIS IS THE ONLY APPROVAL THAT I WILL NEED AS FAR AS POLLING LOCATIONS FROM THIS POINT.

>> MOTION CARRIES. >> THAT'S IT.

>> THANK YOU. >> JUST TODAY I WAS LOOKING AT E-MAILS. BECAUSE OF REDISTRICTING AND THE GROWTH OF REGISTERED VOTERS, WE HAVE GONE NOW UP TO 88 REQUIRED POLLING LOCATIONS BECAUSE WE'RE COUNTYWIDE. IF WE WERE NOT COUNTYWIDE; IF WE WERE STILL PRECINCT BASED, IT WOULD BE DOUBLE THAT. THEY WORK TOGETHER IN TRYING TO OBTAIN THE 88 POLLING LOCATIONS THAT NOW ANYONE OUT THERE INTERESTED IN WORKING ON ELECTION DAY AS THE POLL WORKER, PLEASE, CONTACT YOUR PARTY CHAIR.

AND MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE FILLING THE POLLING LOCATIONS BECAUSE IT'S NOT ENOUGH JUST TO NAME A LOCATION, WE ALSO HAVE TO HAVE WORKERS WORKING IN THAT POLLING SITE. WE WILL AS SOON AS GET THAT APPROVED FROM THE PARTIES. I WILL FORWARD IT TO ALL OF
