Westmoreland approves polling site changes for April primary
Westmoreland County’s election board announced a series of changes to polling locations for the April 23 primary.
Election Bureau Director Greg McCloskey said a growing reluctance among churches and school districts to serve as host sites for live voting on Election Day had led to a series of changes over the last several years.
The county operates 307 voting precincts on Election Day.

• Latrobe 4th Ward: from Latrobe Elementary School to Latrobe Manor, 1013 Jefferson St.
• Ligonier Township South Ligonier: from Rector Church to St. Michael of the Valley Episcopal Church, 2533 Route 381 in the village of Rector.
• Lower Burrell: from Loyal Order of Moose Lodge No. 53 to Lower Burrell Manor, 200 Sylvan Drive in Lower Burrell.
• New Kensington 4-1: from First Evangelical Lutheran Church to Westmoreland County Community College, 1152 5th Avenue in New Kensington.
• Scottdale Borough 3rd Ward and 4th Ward: from Christ United Methodist Church to Scottdale Volunteer Fire Department, 317 Pittsburgh St..
