The following information is from Springfield Municipal Clerk Linda Donnelly. Your district number will be on the sample ballot you received in the mail. 

If the resident usually votes in Districts 1 and 4 at the Presbyterian Parish House, then tomorrow they vote at Sarah Bailey Civic Center with Districts 2 and 3.

If the resident usually votes in Districts 5 and 6, Caldwell School, they will vote in Gaudineer School with Districts 7, 8 and 9.

If the resident votes in Districts 10, 13 or 14 at Walton School, they will vote at Sandmeier School with Districts 11 and 12.

Also, the county has instituted a vote by email or fax option to residents affected by Hurricane Sandy.

Here are the steps:

• Print and sign a Vote-by-Mail ballot application, available here (Solicitud de "Voto por Correo" (Spanish) PDF ).
