Boonton warns voters primary will move to Senior Center due to town-hall parking-lot safety concerns
Summary
Officials announced all four voting wards will use the Senior Center for the upcoming June primary because of safety concerns with the town-hall parking lot; the general election is expected to return to town hall if repairs are completed.
Toward the end of the meeting officials announced that, because of safety concerns with the town-hall parking lot, all four voting wards will vote at the Senior Center for the upcoming primary in June.
Officials asked attendees to share the change with neighbors and said the town plans to notify voters by mail and social media. They added that the general election voting location would revert to town hall if the parking-lot repairs are completed before that election; officials also said they would explore shuttle options to help voters get to the Senior Center.
Why it matters: The temporary polling-location change affects all registered voters in Boonton for the primary and requires additional voter outreach to ensure turnout and accessibility.
The council adjourned after confirming there were no additional public comments.
