In addition, before including the certification required to close the precinct in the resolution, a district official should visit the area in question to verify that no one resides there. When a split precinct is closed as provided in this subsection, the precinct shall not be included in the district's election; the district shall incur no expenses related to the precinct polling place; neither regular nor absentee ballots shall be printed for the precinct; and the services of neither the nursing home nor in-person Absentee Voting Board shall be required by the district for the precinct.

If the split precinct to be closed as outlined in (b) of this section is located in an affected county, the Secretary of the control (parent) County Election Board shall close and remove the precinct during election setup and shall notify the Secretary of the affected County Election Board that the precinct will be closed and removed from the district's election.
