26 more Mahoning precincts to go before November election

YOUNGSTOWN

The Mahoning County Board of Elections plans to further cut the number of voting precincts, eliminating 26 of them in time for the November general election.

The board’s proposal calls for these reductions:

Austintown: From 40 to 33.

Boardman: From 47 to 37.

Poland Township: From 16 to 13.

Campbell: From 11 to 9.

Canfield city: From 10 to 8.

Beaver: From 8 to 7.

Milton: From 3 to 2.

This will leave the county with 212 voting precincts, slightly less than half of the 416 precincts in the county 15 years ago.

The board will have a public hearing at 5 p.m. Wednesday at its office in Oakhill Renaissance Place, 345 Oak Hill Ave., to discuss the planned changes.
