Some local voters will have new polling places

Published 8:00 pm Saturday, April 7, 2018

The primary elections are still a couple months away, but voters can expect changes when they go to the polls the first week of June.

Several Warren County voters will be voting at new precincts that were approved this week by the Warren County Election Commission. The change in precinct locations became necessary when the Warren County School District made the decision to no longer allow Sherman Avenue School, Redwood Elementary School and Warren Central Junior High School to be used for elections. School officials expressed safety concerns.
