Minnesota law requires that each county throughout Minnesota conduct a post election review of randomly selected precincts after the state general election. The purpose of the post election review is to confirm the reliability of Minnesota’s voting systems by comparing a hand count total of the paper ballots to the results calculated by the optical scan voting system. The scope of the hand count is limited to three races, U.S. Senator, U.S. Representative, and Governor. Here is the information specific to Anoka County:

  • Precinct Selection: The Anoka County Canvassing Board randomly selected four precincts in Anoka County on Thursday, November 9th, 2006 at 3:00 p.m. in Room 705 of the Anoka County Government Center, 2100, 3rd Avenue, Anoka, MN.
