Alternative Polling Location for August 11, 2026
While Northwood Middle has typically been used as a polling location, the Greenville County Election Commission has determined alternative polling locations to be used on the first day of school, August 11, for the special primary election for U.S. Senate.
The alternative polling location for Northwood Middle is Christ Fellowship Eastside located at 709 Brushy Creek Road, Taylors, SC 29687. Since no schools will be used as voting sites on the first day of school, a full list of alternative locations is available on the Election Commission website: https://www.greenvillecounty.org/VoterRegistration/
We want to thank the Election Commission for their partnership and working with us to accommodate the first day of school.
