FALL RIVER — After the City Council approved the changes in some polling locations last month, staff at the Board of Elections has been busy getting the word out to voters.

 

“I just did a PSA announcement with FRGTV which should be released next week. Every registered voter who is impacted by the change should have received a direct mailing from my office,” said Board of Elections Chairman Ryan Lyons.

 

In the upcoming weeks, Lyons said he’ll be conducting an interview on the changes with WSAR. 

 

“So, the conversation on the changes will be ongoing,” said Lyons.

 

He presented the changes Jan. 23 to the Council, which gave its unanimous approval. Lyons has said the changes are meant to make access to voting easier, with more accessible parking, including for handicap voters.
