Please be aware that not all precincts within Richland County will be open for the May 4 election. All precincts in the City of Mansfield will be open and those voters can request a Republican or Issues Only ballot. All four precincts in the City of Ontario will be open with only the Charter Formation Issue on their ballot.
No City of Shelby precincts will be open. No polling places have been changed permanently, however, our board did approve a temporary change for the 15 voters in the Jeff-A precinct split who reside in the Washington Township portion, and the 200 voters in the Lex-B Washington Township split.
These voters will be notified to go to Resurrection Parish, 2600 Lexington Avenue for this Election only, in order to save funds by not opening a separate polling place for those few voters. The following is a list of the polling places which will be open for voting in May:
