Responding to coronavirus concerns, the Chicago Board of Election Commissioners said Tuesday it will move 25 precinct polling locations, a decision coming just six days before Election Day.
Affected voters hoping for a heads up before they vote in the March 17 primary may be out of luck — Marisel Hernandez, chair of the Chicago board, said they may not know the new locations right away.
“We’re trying to explore every avenue to relocate them,” Marisel Hernandez, the chair of the board, said at a Wednesday press conference. “We’re working with the city to see what city and state buildings are available.”
Some of the locations being changed are nursing homes; others are private locations and could be moved to firehouses, schools and other places yet to be determined.
