The City Clerk’s Office will be mailing postcards to all registered households, spreading the word via social and print media, displaying signage on Reservoir Drive/Bridge Street the week leading up to Election Day to remind voters of the change, and displaying signage at Hillside Middle School on Election Day to remind voters who are in the wrong location of the change.

If you are a Ward 2 voter, we would encourage you to help spread the word about this change in your community.
