WARREN — After several tries, the time might be right this winter to reduce the number of Trumbull County voting precincts.

During a workshop meeting today, elections board members appeared to be in agreement that as many as 67 precincts could be eliminated before the May 5 primary election.

Niles Mayor Ralph Infante, a Democrat and board member, has been researching a proposal from Republican board member Ron Knight that would combine precincts in Warren, Niles, Girard, Hubbard, Brookfield, Champion, Fowler, Hartford, Howland, Hubbard Township, Kinsman, Liberty, Mesopotamia, Southington and Weathersfield.
