Our polling place in our current town is at a school - always has been, at this address. But at all my previous addresses, we voted at the local firehouse. For most elections, I’m fine with it either way. But it does strike me as wrong whenever we’re voting on the school budget - that should should be on neutral territory, IMHO.
Ive voted in two schools, two churches and a car dealership, as well as many garages, here in CA. I think when they have multiple precincts in a single voting location, they might need something a little larger than a garage.
I’ve always voted in a school gymnasium in all towns that I’ve ever lived in and voted in. I find it odd and question the ethics of voting in some individual citizen’s garage. Where I live, it is the Town Clerk and Board of Registrars who oversee the election and the polling places are Town-owned buildings such as a school or schools and or the Town Hall.
My polling place is at the local police department.
