The Memorial Day tornado outbreak forced the relocation of two polling locations in Montgomery County for the last election in November and the new locations will remain unchanged, said Jan Kelly, director of the Montgomery County Board of Elections.
Voters moved from the New Life Worship Center in Butler Twp. and the North Wesleyan Center in Harrison Twp. will continue voting at the Hopeland Church at 6025 Miller Lane, Vandalia and at the Teamsters Hall 957 at 2719 Armstrong Lane, Harrison Twp.
Early voting has already started for the March 17 primary election that will help determine local tax levies, the makeup of county governments, who’s on the ballot for Congressional and Statehouse seats in November and the Democratic nominee for president.
