Boundaries change for 24 Pottawatomie County voting precincts

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.

In addition to those changes to ensure the population number in various districts are equal, Diane Knight, Pottawatomie County election board secretary said a few other changes were made in Pottawatomie County to consolidate some precincts to save costs, with the county going from 30 precincts down to 26.

New voter identification cards have already been mailed to those voters marked whose precincts were changed, and those voters should now go to their new polling places for the elections slated Feb. 14, 2012.

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.

Shawnee will launch "an aggressive plan" to improve neighborhoods and raze dilapidated buildings, Community Development Director Justin Erickson told the City Commission Tuesday night.

Erickson said the efforts would include increased staffing levels, more money to remove dilapidated structures, grant assistance, increased effort, new approaches, new goals and keeping it going.

Erickson said the effort is part of a continuing campaign being waged in conjunction with the Greater Shawnee Area Chamber of Commerce. That effort began about two years ago, he noted. Countywide & Sun

City of Shawnee earns tree recognition

Representatives of the City of Shawnee and the Shawnee Tree Board received special recognition for tree care at the State Capitol in Oklahoma City this week. Shawnee has participated in the Tree City USA program for nine years.

James Bryce, Interim Director of Operations, stated, “If it was not for the dedication, volunteerism, and coordinating efforts of the Shawnee Chamber of Commerce Beautification Committee and the Master Gardeners, this event probably would not have happened. We have an excellent volunteer base that helps Shawnee be recognized for many things.” Shawnee News-Star
