Elections director: two District polling‑place relocations set to meet 90‑day rule
Summary
Director of Elections Alexandria Stevens told commissioners the county will relocate two polling places for the general election (District 4: Lockhart Gym → Accadome; District 5: to North Star Church) to satisfy a 90‑day precinct notification requirement; commissioners approved the relocations after waiving rules.
Alexandria Stevens, Montgomery County's director of elections, asked the commission to approve resolutions relocating polling places for the general election to meet the 90‑day precinct confirmation window.
Stevens said District 4 will move voting from the Lockhart Gym back to the Accadome, and District 5 will relocate to North Star Church after a community center flooded. "This doesn't affect next week's election, but we're running into that 90 day time frame where we have to prove precincts prior to an election," Stevens said.
Commissioner (speaker) moved to waive rules and approve the relocations; a second was recorded and the motion passed by voice vote. Commissioners thanked Stevens for managing relocations and ensuring voters could exercise their rights.
The commission did not provide a recorded roll‑call tally at the meeting; the relocations were approved to be in effect for the upcoming general election cycle.
