Some voters may have a new precinct number and/or polling location for the March primary.
“Your right to vote has not changed,” the Columbus County Board of Elections said in a social media post. “Only where you vote may have changed.”
Not all precincts will be affected. Officials consolidated some precincts due to staffing issues and low voter turnout.
The approved precinct merges and new polling locations include:
- P01A Bogue merged with P17 Welches Creek. The new Precinct is P117 Bogue Creek.
Polls will be at the Hallsboro Fire Department, 753 Hallsboro Rd. South, Hallsboro
- P34 Bug Hill merged with P513 Nakina. The new precinct is P534 Nakina Hill. The polling place will be at Nakina Fire and Rescue Department, 214 Ramsey Ford Rd, Nakina.
- P112 Lees SE merged with P111 N Lees, forming P121 Lees. Voting will take place at the Old Dock Community Building, 12820 New Britton Hwy E., Nakina.
- P24 Williams 1 was merged with P25B Williams 2 to create P245 Williams. The polling place will be at Beaverdam Original Free Will Baptist Church, 2665 Beaverdam Rd., Chadbourn
- P23 West Whiteville merged with P20A Whiteville 2 to create P223 Whiteville Mid. The polls will be at Vineland Station Depot, 701 E. Main St., Whiteville.
Check your polling location before voting, especially if you are in one of the affected precincts.
Voters can verify registration information and polling places through the N.C. State Board of Elections voter lookup (NCSBOE.gov) or by contacting the Columbus County Board of Elections.
