Township Polling Places Consolidated in Sandy's Wake
Districts 1 through 5 will vote at the Green Village Fire Department; Districts 6 through 10 will vote at the River Road Fire Department.
Chatham Township Clerk Greg LaConte said the township will combine polling places in the wake of Tropical Storm Sandy, which has left over 3,000 JCP&L customers still without power in the township alone.
According to LaConte, Districts 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 should report to the Green Village Fire Department from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday.
Districts 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 should report to the Chatham Township Fire Department on River Road to vote in Tuesday's election.
