Polling place confusion fuels high number of affidavit ballots
Even before election day ended with multiple races too close to call and affidavits still to be processed, poll workers and city officials were reporting an unusually high number of affidavit votes cast at the polls.
At Townsend Community Center, a Ward 1 polling precinct, there were eight affidavits by about 3 p.m. and 15 affidavits at 15th Street Church, a Ward 5 polling place, by 3:20. And at the end of the night, there were about 35 affidavit ballots cast at Brandon Central Services, the lone precinct in Ward 6.
Affidavit ballots are cast when poll workers cannot determine whether voters are registered or where their voting precinct is. The resolution board, which is appointed by the municipal election commission, then goes through the ballots to determine which ones are valid and count those.

Candidates for city council races were given five minutes each to speak, which turned out to be more than enough time in every case as they spoke mostly in generalities about the issues facing the city and their plans to address them.

Members of the community Crime Prevention Task Force had plenty of suggestions for community improvements when they met for their regular meeting at Trotter Convention Center Thursday night: from planning town hall-style meetings with community members, to partnering with organizations like Boys and Girls Club to hold events and recreational activities for youth, to hosting a community-wide festival celebrating Columbus.
