The Starke County Election Board is finalizing the move of the Oregon Township Precinct 2 voting site. Starting this May, voting will take place at the Koontz Lake Association Clubhouse.
Clerk Vicki Cooley says the move was approved by the Koontz Lake Association on January 2 and the county commissioners on January 8. She says the election board followed suit Wednesday by passing a resolution of its own.
But the move depends on the new polling place meeting all the ADA requirements. Cooley says all the parties are working together on making the necessary upgrades. As part of that effort, the Koontz Lake Association has agreed to pay for material to pave the building’s parking lot, while the county will donate labor and equipment.
