SUMMARY: Mobile voters will face changes in polling locations for tomorrow’s election due to new district maps and annexations adding over 19,000 residents. Mobile has 37 voting sites, with 13 different from four years ago, caused by redistricting or site availability. Over 29,000 residents have shifted districts, requiring them to confirm their polling place at alabamavotes.gov. For example, District 5’s location moved from Holy Cross Lutheran Church to Dauphin Way. Polls open 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Municipal elections use some state polling sites, so voters should verify locations. WKRG News 5 will cover over 100 races, including mayoral contests, with updates on WKRG.com and the WKRG-plus app.

Tens of thousands of Mobilians will head to the polls on Tuesday, but many voters could find themselves voting in a new district and at a different location than before.
