Tredyffrin Polling Place Moves

Voters should adjust plans for Tuesday's primary election.

Residents in Tredyffrin Township's W3 precinct should no longer plan to vote in the township building community room, as they did in last fall's general election. For Tuesday's primary election, W3 voters should go to Del Chevrolet at 1644 E. Lancaster Ave. in Paoli, according to county election officials. The polling place had moved to the township building last year, Patch reported, because of construction at the dealership. If you're not sure which precinct is yours, find it through the state's website. All polling places will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday.
