CLEVELAND — Early voting begins Tuesday in the non-partisan September 9 municipal primaries, and that means for voters in Cuyahoga County, a trip to a new location.
After decades at East 30th Street and Euclid Avenue, the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections moved in May to the old Plain Dealer building about a mile away at East 18th Street and Superior Avenue after entering into a 17-year, $91 million lease.
One of the major reasons for the move was the space needed to stage in-person early voting, especially in presidential election years when the lines would often stretch around the block.
The new location offers not only a larger internal space for voting to take place, but also more area inside for the staging of voters waiting in line to vote.
