County clarifies special-election polling locations, will keep traditional school sites
Summary
A county official said a recent report that alternate polling places would be used for an upcoming special election was incorrect; the county will keep 13 traditional polling locations (12 in Sous City and one at the Lton Community Center) and will issue a press release with details and traffic advisories.
A county official corrected press coverage about polling locations for an upcoming special election and said the county will maintain its traditional polling sites.
The official said a recent journal article misstated plans to find alternate polling locations. After meeting with election staff, the official said the county will keep 13 polling locations — 12 in Sous City and one at the Lton Community Center — and is coordinating with school officials. The county plans a joint press release with the schools to inform voters and warn of potential increased traffic during student drop-off and pick-up times.
The comment came during the citizen-concerns portion of the meeting and included an assurance that the county will notify the public about polling locations and expected traffic impacts.
