PREBLE COUNTY CUTS POLLING LOCATIONS FROM 20 TO 6

(Preble County, OH)--Preble County has announced a major consolidation of polling places for voting on Election Day in early November.  The county is reducing the number of polling places from 20 down to just six.  Board of Education Director Lisa Boggs said that more and more people are voting early either by mail or at the Preble County Courthouse and that voter turnout on the actual Election Day does not support the cost of operating 20 locations.  Now, nearly all Preble County residents will vote at the school in the district where they live.  The only exception is Fairhaven.  That’s because of its remote location and distance from any school.
