For the first time since last year’s Election Fiasco , voters here in Northwest Richland County will get to go to the polls ( Library Bond Referendum and Columbia Mayor for a few precincts out here).

I’ve contacted Howard Jackson, the new Director of Richland County Elections and Voter Registration , and received the following information which should help restore confidence that Tuesday’s election will be nothing like last November.

Here are several precincts in the area along with their polling location and the number of machines and poll workers that should be present Tuesday when you vote.

ON THE OFF-CHANCE THAT YOU RUN INTO ANY PROBLEMS TUESDAY, PLEASE LET THE POLL WORKERS KNOW IMMEDIATELY. YOU MAY ALSO COME BACK TO THIS POST AND COMMENT OR CONTACT ME THROUGH THIS WEBSITE OR CALL MY STATE HOUSE OFFICE (734-2969) AND LET ME KNOW ANY FEEDBACK OR ASSISTANCE YOU MAY NEED.
