Implementation of Redistricting Plan Rollout to Improve Voter Services

Northampton County, PA– Northampton County Election Division is implementing the redistricting plan recently approved by the Court of Common Pleas in preparation for the May 19, 2026, Primary Election. Some voters will have new polling locations and/or district names for this election. All voters are encouraged to check their polling place in advance and can do so by using the “Find Your Polling Place” tool at: www.NorthamptonVotes.com.

Several suburban districts have seen significant population growth in recent years, particularly in Forks Township and Palmer Township. To keep pace with that growth and ensure a smooth voting experience, the County has adjusted polling districts to better balance voter populations. The goal of the redistricting is to reduce wait lines and improve access for residents across Northampton County.

As part of this plan, voters may see two types of changes: some polling districts have been divided to better distribute voters, while others have been consolidated to improve efficiency and better align with available polling locations.

Polling District Boundary Changes (New or Expanded Districts)

In some municipalities, district boundaries have been adjusted to reduce crowding and better balance voter populations. These changes may result in new district names or new polling locations. Forks Township will change from four districts to seven. Lower Nazareth Township will change from two to four districts. Palmer Township will add two districts and will now have nine polling locations. Upper Nazareth Township will change from two to four polling locations. A full list of updated district names and polling place addresses is available in the attached “Boundary Changes in Northampton County” document and at www.NorthamptonVotes.com.

Polling District Consolidations

In other areas, existing polling districts have been combined. Voters in these districts will vote at a single, updated polling location. A complete list of consolidated districts and their corresponding polling places is available in the attached “Consolidated Districts in Northampton County” document and at www.NorthamptonVotes.com.

Residents affected by these changes have been mailed updated voter registration cards reflecting their new polling district and location. If you have not received an updated card, please contact the Northampton County Elections Division at 610-829-6260 or election@norcopa.gov.

Even if you have voted at the same location in the past, your polling place may have changed. All voters are encouraged to confirm their polling location prior to Election Day using the “Find Your Polling Place” tool at: www.NorthamptonVotes.com.
