Hope you’re planning to vote today. If you live in Lee County, but your home also falls into the Phenix City city limits, there may be some confusion as to where your polling place is.

Many residents in southern Lee County will vote today at Glenwood School. However, if you live within the Phenix City limits, you must cast your vote in the Phenix City municipal election where you can elect whether or not to either raise property taxes in Phenix City only. Evidently, the city lines trump county lines in this election.

Before heading out to what you believe is your polling place, it may be best to check with your county registrar’s office to make sure you’re headed in the right direction.
