Lowndes County has relocated an East Columbus polling site.
People who voted at the Columbus Fairgrounds in past elections will vote at the National Guard Armory at 111 Fabritek Drive, just off Highway 69.
The change means all Columbus and Lowndes County voters will cast their ballots in the same place for all elections.
“This was done for two reasons — economically, they”re not charging us for it; we were paying rent at the Fairgrounds. And the city was already using the armory for municipal elections, so it got very confusing,” said Haley Salazar, Lowndes County circuit clerk.
“The voters that live within the city of Columbus will all have one place to vote — whether it be city or county, state or national,” she added.
Large signs will be in place at the Fairgrounds directing voters to their new polling place, which is not far from the site.
For questions on where to vote or other information about Tuesday”s election, call your local circuit clerk”s office.
