Many Cleveland voters will have new polling locations for the May primary | Reporters Roundtable
Manage episode 473949158 series 1313319
Cleveland lost two council seats this year as prescribed by the city’s charter and based on population numbers from the decennial census. Ward maps were redrawn to accommodate the reduction in the council’s size. That process means that a third of Cleveland’s voters will have to cast their ballots at a new polling location in the upcoming May primary.
The potential for confusion has raised concerns that new wards combined with new polling locations will mean more voters will skip the process driving down Cleveland’s dismal voter turnout numbers.
We will talk about the new polling locations to begin the “Sound of Ideas Reporters Roundtable” on Friday.
