Since redistricting has changed the boundaries of 24 precincts in Pottawatomie County, nearly 13,000 voters will see many changes during the Feb. 14 elections, with many voting at new or different polling places.Knight said it’s important for voters to carry their new cards for proof of identity at the polls.
Anyone wanting to check their registration, inquire about their polling place or needing to replace a lost voter ID card can call the election board office, 273-8376. Knight said it would be better to inquire in the next few weeks rather than waiting until the busy election day as they want every registered voter to have the opportunity to vote.
In addition to voting at their polling places election day, voters also can vote early in the Election Board Office at the Pottawatomie County Courthouse on the Friday or Monday before any election from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. and from 8 a.m. until 1 p.m.. on the Saturday before a scheduled election day. Voters also may request absentee ballots be mailed to them.
