2 polling places in Cranberry moved
The Butler County commissioners, serving as the county elections board, on Wednesday switched two Cranberry Township polling places.
Cranberry West 3 moves on Rochester Road from the Christ Baptist Church to the township municipal building.
That change bumps Cranberry West 5 from the township building to the Olenski Hall at St. Ferdinand Church, which also is on Rochester Road.
Shari Brewer, county elections bureau director, said there always is a conflict for the spring primary with Christ Baptist Church’s preschool program.
“This way eliminates that problem,” she said.
