Voters in 97 different divisions will be sent to new polling places for next Tuesday's general election.
Gary Ferris, who arranges polling locations for the city commissioners' office, said about two-thirds of the new polling places were spurred by issues involving access for the disabled.
In other cases, polling places had to be moved because the owners no longer wanted to rent them to the city, or because buildings were closed or undergoing repairs.
A list of the polling places that are changing is available on the city commissioners' website: http://phillyelection.com/2011Changes.pdf. - Bob Warner
