The residents of Grove Park got a win yesterday.
Since their elementary and middle school has been closed, their voting place for the primary election was moved to the fire house at Reisterstown Road and Rogers Avenue.
There’s no parking on site, and that is a very busy intersection.
The community complained, and I got us on the agenda for yesterday’s meeting of the Baltimore City Board of Elections.
Between my request and yesterday, there were discussions between community leaders and election officials about better locations.
(In Annapolis, we call that a pre-meeting meeting.)
The polling place will be moved to Forest Park Senior High School.
It’s already a polling place, and there’s parking on site.
I’m going to ask the parties involved if we need to change the law or the regulations regarding the changing of a polling place.
