During a May 4th press conference, Montgomery County Commissioner Ken Lawrence Jr. introduced a proposed plan to consolidate the number of polling locations in the county from 352 to 140 due to the pandemic (a cut of 60 percent).
The plan is for only schools to be utilized since they are not currently in use, have parking, and space for social distancing. After the election, the schools will be sanitized. Most schools will host at least three precincts.
The primary election is June 2nd and this plan would only be valid for the primary. The proposal will be considered by the Election Board during its May 11th meeting.
Full details on the upcoming election and how to obtain a mail-in or absentee ballot can be found here.
Below are the current and proposed voting locations for Abington, Cheltenham, and Jenkintown.
