Seven precincts, that are both private and residential facilities, declined to be polling places this year due to the pandemic, and the city ended up having to consolidate some existing precincts. 

Director of Guilford County Board of Elections Charlie Collicutt says this is an effort to make people feel most comfortable on Election Day.

“We want the polling location to be comfortable with us, if they don’t want to be a host, then it’s just not going to work out, and we’ll have to find something different to do," Collicutt says.

Voters in these seven precincts will be temporarily reassigned to shared locations. All of that information can be found on Guilford County's website.
