The Washington County elections office has changed two polling places for the Nov. 6 general election. Voters in West Pike Run Township’s 2nd precinct will no longer be voting at the Daisytown Athletic Club, but instead at the township building, 238 Pike Run Drive, Daisytown, which has been renovated. Voters in Cecil Township’s 6th precinct should go to the Hills-Henderson Civic Association, 399 Georgetown Road, Lawrence, instead of the volunteer fire department one block away. Oct. 9 is the last day to register to vote before the November election. The Washington County elections office will stay open until 5 p.m. that day. Absentee ballots, except those from military and overseas electors, must be received at the elections office by 5 p.m. Nov. 2, except for emergency absentee electors who become ill or who are called away from home after 5 p.m. on that day. The elections office also is seeking some help at two polling places. Larry Spahr, Washington County elections director, said he needs a judge of elections to serve in Beallsville. “We need some help also down in North Strabane,” where the 6th precinct lacks a clerk or inspector at the intermediate school, one of two precincts that votes there, Spahr said. Election board workers earn about $100 for working a full shift, which lasts from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. The person returning voting machines and memory cards used to tabulate election results earns an additional $20 plus mileage for the vehicle’s trip between the polling place and Washington. Spahr asked those interested in serving on election boards to call him at 724-228-6750. Those who serve on election boards should live within the municipality.
