Northampton County residents could have different polling places this election, after a redistricting plan was approved to improve efficiency and and better distribute voters.

The redistricting plan, which was approved by the Court of Common Pleas, was created to reduce crowding or combine districts, according to a news release from the county. Several municipalities now have more districts and some districts have been consolidated into a single, updated polling location.

Residents affected by the changes were mailed updated voter registration cards with the new district and location.
