阿勒格尼县选举官员:11月3日选举准备就绪,近6,500名选举工作人员确认到位,48处投票站地点变更

位于宾夕法尼亚州阿勒格尼县的匹兹堡市是该县县治。阿勒格尼县选举官员10月20日上午在选举委员会简短会议上表示,该县为11月3日选举所做的准备「状态相当好」,选举工作人员正从容应对今年明显增多的投票站地点变更。
县选举部门经理 Dave Voye 向三人组成的选举委员会报告,全县1,300多个选区仅缺3名选举法官,他表示这一空缺很容易填补;全县已有近6,500名选举工作人员确认将在选举日上岗。
变更方面,Voye 估计往年每年约有30至35处投票站因建筑翻修等原因变更,今年则有48处。其中,Bethel Park 学区今秋将多所小学合并进一栋新建筑,导致8个投票区原先设在各社区小学的投票站必须迁移;Scott Township 的 Carriage Park 公寓投票站则应物业业主要求迁走,县府尚未最终定下新址,但表示已接近确定。
县府表示,投票站被迁移的选民会收到明信片通知,选民也可通过县府的在线查询工具或州政府网站输入地址核对自己的投票地点。
Allegheny County Officials Say They Are in Good Shape for the November 3 Election: Nearly 6,500 Workers Confirmed and 48 Polling-Place Changes
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the county seat of Allegheny County — Allegheny County election officials told the county Election Board at a brief meeting on Tuesday morning, October 20, that the county is in good shape for the November 3 election, with election workers taking an upsurge in polling-place changes in stride.
Dave Voye, the county's elections division manager, told the three-member board that the county was short only three judges of elections across its more than 1,300 precincts, a negligible number of vacancies he said would be easily filled. Nearly 6,500 election workers in all had been confirmed as ready to work on Election Day.
Voye estimated that 30 to 35 polling locations change in a typical year because of building renovations or other issues, while 48 changes are in the works this year. Eight voting districts were displaced when the Bethel Park School District consolidated its elementary schools into a new building this fall, and a polling place at Scott Township's Carriage Park apartment complex is being moved at the property owner's insistence; officials said they had nearly settled on a new location.
Voters whose polling places are relocated are notified by postcard, and any voter can verify a polling place through the county's online locator tool or the state's voter website.
