One of Brazos County's Election Day voting sites will stay closed on Tuesday, Nov. 3, county election officials said Saturday.
College Heights Assembly of God in Bryan, at 4100 Old College Road, has been dropped from the list after church officials told the county's Election Administration that the building's air conditioning had failed and that water service might also be lost.
Why the county pulled the site
The county looked at bringing in portable cooling units but decided against it. In a press release, officials said the building is older and that extra units, running alongside the voting equipment, could overload its electrical system. They said the risk was only a possibility, but that "County officials are not willing to risk a power outage while voters are actively casting ballots."
Where to vote instead
Brazos County voters are not tied to a single site on Election Day and may cast a ballot at any county polling location, according to the county. The closest alternative to the closed church is the Legends Event Center, 2533 Midtown Park Blvd. in Bryan, a little under two miles away.
Texas polls are open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Election Day. The full list of Brazos County locations and other voting information is posted on the county elections website, elections.brazoscountytx.gov.
