Voters in all or portions of 22 of Medina County’s 117 precincts will be voting in new polling places Tuesday. All registered voters affected have been notified by mail.
County election officials cited several reasons for the changes.
Some polling locations no longer were available. Others did not meet the Americans with Disabilities Act requirements.
Changes also were made based on the location of the new polling place and its capacity.
In addition to the changes in polling places, voters were moved to new voting places as a result of ward boundary changes.
One polling place was changed for the August special election: Chippewa Lake Village, from Church at the Lake to Chippewa Lake Community Building, 24 Circle Crest Drive.
Eight others switches for Tuesday’s election are:
• Hinckley Township Precinct E, from Our Savior Church to Hinckley Town Hall, 1410 Ridge Road.
