New polling location for Maine Township voters

Grundy County Clerk Kay Olson announced two polling place changes for the April 4 consolidated election.

Voters residing in the Maine 1 precinct will now vote at the Felix 2 polling location, Felix Township Hall, 6525 E. Whitetie Rd, Coal City.

Voters residing in the Vienna 1 precinct will now vote at the Highland 1 polling location, KMTC Community Center, 219 Main St., Kinsman.

These polling changes were prompted due to the lack of election judges.

The clerk's office has also consolidated several other precincts over the last few years in an effort to be more efficient and for cost savings to the county. These consolidations have proven to be successful.

According to Olson, signs will be posted on the doors to the regular polling locations on election day, and postcards have been sent to all voters of these precincts notifying them of the changes. These polling place changes will be permanent and will be reflected on the next voter registration card the voters receive.

Olson would also like to remind voters of the early voting and vote by mail opportunities which are available now.

Early Voting takes place at the Grundy County Courthouse, 111 E. Washington St., Morris and continues through April 3. Vote by mail applications may be submitted now through March 30.

Early voting is open weekdays from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., with extended hours on Thursday, March 30 until 6 p.m. and Saturday, April 1 and Sunday, April 2 from 8 a.m. to noon.
