PLAN YOUR VOTE: 60 POLLING PLACES WILL MOVE
Fifty-three of the 1327 polling places in Allegheny County have been relocated for the April 23 primary election. Seven more still need new locations.
You can check on whether your polling
place location has moved at Candidate and Municipality Resources - Allegheny County, PA under the Polling Places Listing. In this Excel formatted spreadsheet, rows highlighted in yellow show polling places that have been relocated. Rows highlighted in red will be moving when new locations can be identified. The 7 polling places still in need of a new location are, by municipality, ward, and district: McKeesport 8-4; McKeesport 8-6; Oakmont 0-1; Oakmont 0-2; Ohio 0-3; Pittsburgh 15-13; Pittsburgh 15-16.
Updated information about the locations of these polling places will be offered as soon
as it is available. Additionally, a mailing advising voters of their new polling locations will be sent to all households in affected precincts. On Election Day, signage will be posted on the former polling places directing voters to their new polling places. As always, voters planning to vote in person on election day are encouraged to check their polling place and their registration before heading out to the polls.
