There was an error in last week’s issue
of the Gazette. There is not a new
voting precinct in Wake Forest as was
reported. Instead, the location for
precinct 19-07, which had been at the
Alston-Massenburg Community Center on
Taylor Street, has been moved to the J.B.
Flaherty Community Center at 1226 N.
White St.
Those voters who have been
going to Alston-Massenburg will receive
a notification in the mail this summer
before the Nov. 7 general election.
Voters must cast their ballots at their
assigned precinct.
Brenda Fowler with the Wake
County Board of Elections said the
reason for the move was accessibility
for people with handicaps. The Wake
Forest Parks and Recreation Department,
which operates both centers, was not
able to increase the length of the
wheelchair ramp to meet federal
accessibility standards.
“We’re actually just
changing from one location to another in
the same precinct,” Fowler said.
County residents who receive
new cards from the Wake County Board of
Elections addressed to previous owners
or tenants are asked not
to open the envelopes but instead write
on it that the person no longer lives at
that address and give the letter back to
the postman.
