Gainesville residents will head to the voting booths in two weeks, but the Supervisor of Elections Office reminds citizens that the voting locations for precincts 23, 27 and 59 have moved for Nov. 16.

In precinct 23 and 59, voters will need to show up to the Days Inn Hotel at 1901 SW 13th St. Both of the normal voting locations, City College and the Wyndham Garden Gainesville Hotel, are unavailable for use.

In precinct 27, the Thomas Center at 302 NE 6th Ave. will serve as the voting location instead of the Thelma Boltin Center which is under construction.
