For residents living in the Morris Park, Wenonah, Keewaydin and Minnehaha neighborhoods

Note that some of you, primarily in the Keewaydin neighborhood, may have had your Ward and Precincts changed. See the new Ward/Precinct/polling place map (link at right).

All of Nokomis East now is within Senate District 63 and House District 63b (formerly 61 and 61b). The boundaries have changed (outside of Nokomis East), but the elected officials remain the same.

Voting Hint:
There are two constitutional amendments on this year's ballot.  Failure to vote on either constitutional amendment will have the same effect as voting NO on that amendment.
