Board approves moving Courts Precinct 204 to Pleasant Grove Baptist Church
Summary
The electoral board asked the supervisors to relocate polling place for Courts Precinct 204 after Abundant Life Church withdrew permission; Pleasant Grove Baptist Church at 4405 Prince George Drive was approved as it sits 0.9 miles from the prior site and serves 3,114 registered voters.
The Prince George County Board of Supervisors approved relocating Courts Precinct 204 from Abundant Life Church to Pleasant Grove Baptist Church at 4405 Prince George Drive after the church said it would no longer host elections.
Janice Gano of the Prince George electoral board explained the recommendation and said the new location is about 0.9 miles from the existing site and serves 3,114 registered voters in the precinct. She described the polling-room layout, available parking and curbside voting provisions and said the site meets state requirements for serving the majority of precinct voters. "It is only 500 feet outside the court's precinct boundaries... People will not have a difficult time in getting to a changed location in that particular precinct," Gano said.
A resident who attended an earlier hearing supported the change because of the tight timeline for notification; staff noted state rules require 60 days’ notice to voters when a precinct location changes ahead of a general election. The board voted to approve the ordinance and directed staff to proceed with state-board notifications and required voter notices.
