VERONA - The polling place for Augusta County voters in the Cedar Green Precinct will shift from Beverley Manor Elementary School to Beverley Manor Middle School, the Augusta County Board of Elections announced Tuesday.

This change will go into effect for all future elections, beginning with the June 13, 2017 primary election. If you are a registered voter in that precinct, you will receive a notification of the change in the mail in early May, according to the release.

With Beverley Manor Elementary School set to close at the end of the school year, it will soon be unavailable for voting. The board of supervisors approved the relocation of the precinct's polling place at its April 12 meeting.
