CHAMBERSBURG – Some Chambersburg Borough residents will vote in new precincts in the November elections due to reapportionment based on census data, while others are changing polling locations, Franklin County officials announced.
Voters who are moved to other districts will receive a new voter registration card in the mail, as well as a notice notifying them of their new polling location. The Borough of Chambersburg will also include information on this redistricting project in its October utility bill mailing.
In addition to the redistricting in Chambersburg, two other Franklin County polling locations have permanently moved to new locations. The Hamilton 2 polling place is now at the Christian Life Church, 1400 Warm Spring Road, Chambersburg. Voters in the Metal 2 precinct will now vote at Metal Township Fire and Ambulance, 10862 Path Valley Road, Fannettsburg.
Finally, voters in the Greene 4 precinct will be voting at St. Paul Lutheran Church, 44 E. Main St., Fayetteville, for the Nov. 5 election. The county expects voting will return to the Fayetteville Volunteer Fire Department in 2025.
Any voter affected by a change in precincts will receive a new voter registration card in the mail before the election. Voters who are voting in a new precinct for the first time may be asked to show ID at their new polling location; this is the only time voters will be asked to show ID. For a list of approved forms of ID, voters may visit www.vote.pa.gov.
Voters who have questions regarding changes to their polling location can call the Franklin County Voter Registration Office at 717-261-3886. Additional election and voter registration information is available on the Franklin County website, www.franklincountypa.gov.
