Voters be aware of changes to polling places

When Coffee County voters go to the polls for the primary county, state and federal election May 24, some will be voting at a new location for the first time.

The voters who have traditionally voted at the Enterprise Recreation Center and the Victoria and Chestnut Grove polling locations will be voting at new locations.

Because of the city of Enterprise’s demolition and reconstruction plans for the facility, the Enterprise rec center polling place is being replaced by the Enterprise Civic Center.

All those who previously voted at Victoria will now vote at Wise Mill voting building. All those who previously voted at the Chestnut Grove polling location will now vote at Frisco voting building.

For more information, call the Coffee County Board of Registrars at (334) 894-5347, the Absentee Election Manager at (334) 894-1100 or the Alabama Secretary of State Elections Division at (334) 353-7177.

Project seeking info on WWII vets killed in action

“The Stories Behind the Stars” initiative was created to organize one central digital location to collect the stories of all Americans who were killed during World War II. These personal stories will be digitally linked to war memorials and cemeteries by a smartphone app so visitors can read the stories of the fallen. Work is currently being done on all of the Alabama WWII soldiers. Those with any information or photos they are willing to share on any soldier who died or was killed in World War II from Coffee or Geneva County, please contact Donna Snell at [email protected] or (334) 774- 6777.
