Mercer Web site helps residents find their voting precincts

MERCER, Pa. — A new voter or new resident in the county uncertain of which precinct they would vote in now has the ability to access that information online.

The Mercer County election office has posted precinct maps for the 100 precincts in the county at www.mcc.co.mercer.pa.us. Link to Election/Voter Registration and then Precinct Maps. Links are provided for each of the county’s 48 municipalities.

Those municipalities that encompass more than one precinct show the boundaries for those precincts. Voters can then go back and link to Polling Locations to get the address of their voting district.

Jeff Greenburg, county elections chief, said he had a couple of requests recently for maps, and while they were available in the office in books there wasn’t an easy way to distribute them to the public. With the assistance of Chico Askin from the county’s MIS department, every map was scanned and downloaded to the county Web site this week. Greenburg said.
