There was also an increasing demand for securing places that met all the regulations that are required for public voting such as ADA requirements, restrooms, and other specifications.
The 3 precincts that remain are Fredonia, Donaldson and Bucksnort and those serve only voters who reside in the County while the precincts that included city voters were moved to the Vote Center. Voters in these 3 precincts can also take advantage of the early voting but must come to the courthouse to vote early. All other Precincts will report to the Courthouse to vote.
