Commissioners approved the movement of three polling locations in Butler County, which Sheasley said were necessary due primarily to size or parking limitations.

Center Township’s second precinct will move from the Church of God of Prophecy, 932 Mercer Road, to Community Alliance Church, 800 Mercer Road.

In Eau Claire, voters will now vote at the fire department’s social hall, 137 N. Washington St., rather than the borough office.

And in Evans City, the polling place will move from the Evans City Area Volunteer Fire Company, 124 N. Jackson St., to the Gospel Life Church social hall, 242 S. Washington St. Sheasley said the fire department was a temporary polling place due to COVID-19 related social-distancing requirements and they asked the county to move to a different location.

Voters whose polling places are being moved will be notified in several ways, according to officials. Each voter in those precincts will receive a letter and receive new voter registration information, the updates will be available on the county’s website and the old polling locations will include signs on election days directing voters to the new sites.
