At any Annual Meeting of the Lake District and/or special meetings of the Lake District where voting will take place, voter registration is required. The Lake District gets its voter registration list from the Polk County Treasurer, who gets this from the Real Estate Tax Rolls. In many cases the county treasurer has only one name listed as the owner of the real estate even though in reality the real estate is owned by more than one person, usually the spouse of the listed owner. This creates a problem at registration time, since a property owner may have up to two votes if the property is listed in two names. If the property is in a trust then it would need to be listed as: John and Mary Doe, Doe Family Trust - or some similar wording. A person or persons who own more than one piece of property are entitled to no more than two votes. All residents (owners, renters and lesees) who are registered voters are entitled to vote. Renters and lessees must bring proof of their eligibility to the registration (photo ID). There are no absentee ballots or proxies.
Please examine your mailing label and if it has only one name on it and your real estate is owned jointy by you and your spouse or someone else, please notify the Polk County Treasurer immediately at the address below, so that you may have two votes. This listing will be our official list.
