PEORIA, Ill. — Voters in six different Peoria County precincts will have to cast their Primary Election Day ballots in alternate locations.
Normal polling places Independence Village of Peoria, St. Sharbel Apartments, and Lutheran Hillside Village all notified the Peoria County Election Commission of their declination because of fears the coronavirus could be tracked in from the outside and adversely affect their elderly residents.

St. Sharbel Apartments voters (precinct PE57) will vote at St. Paul Lutheran Church, at 1427 W. Lake Ave.
