Redistricting has been completed at the Osceola County Supervisor of Elections  Office and, as some polling locations have changed, all registered voters will be receiving a new Voter Information card in the mail soon.

“Some of the polling locations have changed because the district lines have changed.  We have selected the most convenient and accessible locations in Osceola County for polling locations,’’ said Supervisor of Elections Mary Jane Arrington. “We have worked hard on making sure the changes are in the best interest of the voters.’’

Due to the redistricting changes, Arrington said she wanted to make sure voters were aware of any location changes and is now sending new Voter Information cards to every registered voter in the county.

“We will be sending out new cards. It will have the voter’s name and address, their political party, the polling location and address as well as their precinct number. It will also have their Congressional, Senate, House, School Board and County Commission districts on the card,’’ Arrington said.

The Elections Office has started a Check Your Voter Status program where voters are asked to make sure their information is up-to-date. Voters who have changed their names or addresses need to make sure the Elections Office has the most recent information. Over time, a person’s signature changes and voters are asked to update that as well if it has changed.

“Making sure their information is up-to-date will make it easier at the polls,’’ Arrington said.

Early voting for the Aug. 14 Primary Election will be Aug. 4-11 and will be held at six locations throughout the county: The Supervisor of Elections Office, and the following county libraries: Hart Central Memorial Library in Kissimmee, Veteran’s Memorial Library in St. Cloud, Poinciana Library, Celebration Library and Buenaventura Lakes Library.
