Default FYI - Fishtown Polling Place Location

I moved here in February and am registered, but I couldn't find online where I had to go on election Day.

So I called the Voter Registration Admin.
(215) 686-1500 OR 1505

and they said anyone who is Ward 18 Division 2 (this is on your voter registration card) goes to:

1242 Union Hall which is located at
236 Richmond Street

I am Ward 18 Div 11 and for years our voting place was in a little garage on Wilt St (just off Gaul). Last year, amidst much confusion, they moved it to The Penn Widow's Home at Belgrade and Susquehanna. I believe they had two seperate divisions polling there. I am expecting the same this year.

They seem to change it every election. My first polling place was Neumann Medical Center...then it switched to some church I think on Montgomery. The Fishtown Star will prolly have info, me thinks.

They have a clickable map of the wards in Philadelphia, updated April 2004, and when I clicked ward 18, this came up in a listing:
Ward: 18
Div: 2
Polling: 236 Richmond St.

FYI:

If your voting place is on Richmond St try to get there early. I had to wait 1 & 1/2 hrs during the mayoral vote and that voter turnout was lousy.

Thanks. I emailed them and they said new polling places are coming out soon. They have a good map of districts and wards.

When you register to vote, you should get a voter ID card in the mail as a confirmation. In my county (Philly 'burbs), your voter ID card also tells you where you should vote. Save yourself time and trouble on Election Day....if you don't know where you should vote, contact the Voter Registration office in your county NOW to get this information.

so, you not only admit to voter fraud, but you admit to multiple counts?
