There could be a change to where you vote in Luzerne County this upcoming election. It has to do with creating greater safety amid a heated political climate. County officials are looking into getting rid of polling places inside schools, calling it a necessity. More than a handful of voting precincts were at schools in both the 2023 general election and 2024 primary. Luzerne County Manager Romilda Crocamo says there are preparations happening already at many levels to ensure greater safety and accommodate the changes. With a large voter turnout anticipated on November 5, election officials want to make sure that day is safe and organized.
