Effective immediately, the voting location for residents who previously voted at St. Mary’s Grade School at 304 E. Cloud St. has been moved to St. Mary’s Parish Center at 230 E. Cloud St. This change will be in place for the primary election on August 06, 2024.
The move will allow for St. Mary's Grade School to remain a polling location, while still having school in session on election day.
"We're just moving the location from our grade school cafeteria to the parish hall," said St. Mary's Grade School Principal, Tym Bonilla. "We definitely love being part of the voting process and we love being part of the citizenship concept and participating in that."
The Saline County Election Office has sent out postcards to all affected voters detailing the new location. Voters are urged to confirm their registration details and familiarize themselves with the new voting site well before Election Day.
"We just like having school throughout the week and not having to have a time where we have to take off school," Bonilla said. "It makes it difficult for our families."
