Seven polling sites in Westmoreland County will be relocated for the Nov. 3 general election amid concerns related to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
All 307 voting precincts will be open, but a handful — which could not meet safety protocols or are located near senior housing communities prohibited from hosting outside visitors — required officials to find alternative sites, said Elections Bureau Director JoAnn Sebastiani.
Relocated polling places:
• Derry Township-Scalp Level, from Alpha Lion’s Den Ministries to Trinity Lutheran Church, 101 W. Fourth Ave.
• Hempfield-New Stanton, from Easy Living Country Estates to New Stanton United Methodist Church, 612 S. Center Ave.
• New Kensington-4th Precinct — 1st Ward, from St. Joseph Parish Center to First Evangelical Lutheran Church, 221 Ridge Ave.
• New Kensington-7th Precinct — 1st Ward, from Pershing Heights to Valley Junior/Senior High School, 703 Stevenson Blvd.
• North Huntingdon-1st Precinct — 1st Ward, from Westmoreland City VFD to Westmoreland City Primitive Methodist Church, 1246 Fifth St.
• North Huntingdon-6th Precinct — 2nd Ward, from Friendship Baptist Church to Irwin VFD, 518 Western Ave.
• Vandergrift — 1st Ward, from Vandergrift Public Library to The Center on Franklin Avenue, 262 Franklin Ave.
