New space needed due to pandemic
City Clerk Jackie Beyer announced changes in New London’s polling places for the April 7 election due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Due to the lack of adequate staff at all of the polling places, we are combining some polling places to serve the public,” Beyer said in a press release. “We apologize for the late change, but we are taking steps to notify everyone by use of social media and news outlets of the new locations.
