Voters in California Borough and Cecil Township will be heading to different polling places for the May 21 municipal primary.
Larry Spahr, Washington County elections director, said people who had been voting at the Smallwood Gun Club in California’s Third Precinct will be casting their ballots next month at United Christian Church, 499 West Malden Drive, a site that also is used by voters in California’s Fourth Precinct.
Instead of heading for the Iceoplex in Southpointe, voters in Cecil Township’s First Precinct will be voting at the Tandem Connection, 5 Georgetown Road, Hendersonville. The building, which was previously known as the Old Henderson Shop, is at the corner of Georgetown and Morganza Road.
Spahr said there’s a possibility that local election boards may need some workers in North Strabane’s First Precinct, East Bethlehem’s First Precinct and in Long Branch.
North Strabane 1, which serves voters at the municipal building, 1929 Route 519, Canonsburg, has a judge, but may need clerks and inspectors. Workers also may be needed at some precincts in Washington.
East Bethlehem 1 at the Tri-County Joint Municipal Authority office, 26 Monongahela Ave., Fredericktown, and the voting site at the Long Branch borough building, 440 Mt. Tabor Road, Coal Center, may need judges of elections.
If no election board members can be found within a precinct, they should reside in the same municipality. Long Branch has a single precinct.
Election board members 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 to Washington earns an additional $20, plus mileage for the trip from the polling place.
Spahr asked those interested in serving on election boards to call him at 724-228-6750, or, in the case of Long Branch, to call Mayor Joseph DeBlassio at the borough office, 724-483-5950.
A full complement includes a judge of elections, two inspectors and two clerks although, in some precincts, Spahr said the board has to get by with just four members.
