Redistricting Changes Some City Polling Places

The Middletown registrars of voters urge residents who cast ballots at Farm Hill or Bielefield schools that redistricting has moved their polling stations on Election Day and there are two referendum questions.

 

Statewide redistricting has altered a couple of poll locations in Middletown, according to the registrar of voters Sandra L. Faraci and Janice A. Gionfriddo. Those who cast ballots in the April and August primaries will again vote in the same locations.

Farm Hill and Bielefield Elementary schools are no longer city polling stations.

Heavy turnout is expected for the Presidential election this Nov. 6, possibly as high at 85 percent, Faraci and Gionfriddo say. “We may have over 18,000 people voting that day and we just want to make sure that everyone gets to the correct location.”

In addition, the city will have two referendum questions on the November ballot.
