Due to last month’s arson fire at the Magic Cottage learning center on Appletree Drive in Bristol Township’s Levittown section, all polls at the former elementary school will be moved to George Washington Elementary School at 275 Crabtree Drive.
The changed was announced after the Bucks County Board of Elections met in Dolyestown Tuesday. County commissioners Diane M. Ellis-Marseglia, Robert G. Loughery and Charles Martin unanimously voted to approve the relocation of the Bristol Township 9-1 polling place.
