Columbia County Board of Elections Announces Changes to Polling Sites
The Columbia County Board of Elections has consolidated election districts and polling sites in an effort to reduce election costs. Faced with increased costs to deliver elections caused by the mandatory use of the new optical-scanner voting machines, the board has consolidated the number of election districts county-wide from 58 to 52 and has reduced the number of poll sites from 42 to 34. The consolidation efforts will save taxpayers more than $35,000 each year.
The poll site changes take effect for the county-wide primary election to be held on September 13th from noon until 9:00 PM.
Residents whose polling location has changed will receive a green postcard from Columbia County Board of Elections indicating their new poll site. In addition, signage will be placed at the old poll site directing voters to the new location.
The following are the polling places for the City of Hudson:
1st Ward: St. Mary's Academy Bldg. 301 Allen Street
2nd Ward: St. Mary's Academy Bldg. 301 Allen Street
3rd Ward: St. Mary's Academy Bldg. 301 Allen Street
4th Ward: Columbia County Office Bldg. 401 State Street
5th Ward (1st & 2nd District): Hudson Central Fire Station 77 North 7th Street
