Lake Hallie board approves polling booths purchase

Posted:

Chippewa Co. (WQOW) - With general elections around the corner, a local village is planning ahead to avoid congestion at the polls.

The Village of Lake Hallie says it needs extra poll booths, and Monday night, the village board agreed to purchase four more. The village currently has eight booths. The city clerk says there are approximately 3,000 voters regularly, but she expects the general election to be higher.

 

The city clerk also says more booths will mean less of a wait and more efficiency. Monday night's vote was unanimous. Each polling booth costs about $245.
