(WJW) — Polling locations have changed for tens of thousands of voters in Cuyahoga and Summit counties Ohio’s special election on Tuesday, Aug. 8.
Voters who plan on heading to the polls in person on Election Day should double-check they’re going to the right place. Read on for a list of all the changes:
Which polling places changed in Cuyahoga County?
More than 47,000 voters are affected by changes to 50 voting precincts in Cleveland, East Cleveland, Lyndhurst, North Olmsted, Seven Hills, Shaker Heights, South Euclid and University Heights, according to a news release from the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections.
Since many usual polling locations are in schools — which are now closed for summer — the changes were the result of consolidation, according to a spokesperson for the Secretary of State’s office. They were informed of the changes by letter on July 3 and July 25, the spokesperson said.
Voters can confirm their new location on the board’s website or by calling 216-443-VOTE (216-443-8683).
They can also see an interactive map of the polling location changes on the county’s website.
