The Coursey Boulevard voting site is being relocated in order to provide enough space for proper social distancing, Raborn says. It was determined the Coursey site was “unsafe and inadequate” to deal with the expected high volume of voters. Raborn says the Forest Community Park site is a much larger facility with better parking too.
