A hard-to-find polling place in Bristol Township will be moving to a new location.
The move to change Bristol Township’s 5-1 polling place from a warehouse at the Bristol Commerce Center on Green Lane to the Delaware Valley Vietnam Veterans site at 800 Coates Avenue was made Wednesday during a unanimous vote by the Board of Elections, which consists of the three Bucks County Commissioners and is led by Diane Ellis-Marseglia.

County officials said the relocation is permanent and related to the Coates Avenue property being a “more suitable polling place.”
LevittownNow.com reported on the hard-to-find polling place last November after voters raised concerns over the out-of-the-way polling place that many found difficult to find.
“We drove by about five times before we finally found it. The signs didn’t help. We should’ve gotten a paper with a map and photo,” said an older voter before zooming off to pick up his grandkids.

Resident Kelly Burton said she would not have found the polling place unless someone told her.
Voters in Bristol Township’s 5-1 will receive a mailer notifying them of the change.
