Practical, logistic and public safety concerns in the wake of the Newton, Conn., school shooting have prompted Pettis County Clerk Nick La Strada to consolidate polling places ahead of the April 2 municipal election.
Beginning in April, Ward 2 voters who previously voted at Washington Elementary or Pettis County Courthouse will now vote at First Baptist Church, 200 E. Sixth St. Ward 3 voters who previously voted at Parkview Elementary will now cast their ballots at New Hope Baptist Church, 664 E. 16th St. Ward 4 voters who previously voted at Antioch Fellowship, Skyline Elementary or Horace Mann Elementary will now vote at the First United Methodist Church Celebration Center, 1701 W. 32nd St.
