Changes In Four Polling Places Are Approved By County BoardJuly 18th, 2008
By Linda Kor
Elections Director Lisa McKee received approval from the Navajo County Board of Supervisors last week for four polling place changes for the upcoming elections.
The Sun Valley location will be changed from the Indian school dormitory to the Sun Valley Fire Station due to construction being completed at the school.
Winslow Precinct No. 4 will be moved from Jefferson Elementary School to the LDS Church cultural hall, which is located just around the corner from the school at 205 Lee St. This change is also due to construction.
The Pinetop/Lakeside Precinct No. 1 location will be changed from the First Baptist Church fellowship hall to the Life Center located next door to the church at 1963 E. White Mountain Blvd.
The Heber/Overgaard location is going to be moved from Capps Elementary School to the new Mogollon County Complex, which is eight miles from the other location, but will be a more secure site.
McKee stated that this information would also be included on the sample ballots that will be mailed to county residents prior to the elections.
