A list of all polling locations in the City of Lake Worth is below. “Hmmm. There are 16 precincts but only 12 polling locations. Why is that?” See why below.


Important to remember today: Lake Worths important ballot question is on the very last page all by itself. Turn the page over and look for it at the top of the last page.


So. . . why 16 precincts and only 12 polling locations? Three polling locations are where multiple precincts vote. For example, precincts 3034 and 3040 both vote at the Scottish Rite Temple. All the information below can be found on the Supervisor of Elections website. Unsure where you vote? Use this link.

Below is an analysis done of the “LW2020” bond vote in August 2014 that lost by just 25 votes. The numbers in blue are the vote totals (top number “For bonds” and bottom number “Against”). Besides the voter turnout being dismal, many voters in precincts with the worst roads didn’t bother to vote: ergo why your roads and potholes are not being fixed or repaired.

Note the large number of votes “Against Bonds” in 2014 from a very small area in the southwestern part of the City, west of I-95 (202 votes from precinct 3078). Had just 26 more voters east of I-95 voted “For Bonds”, many of our streets and potholes would be fixed already.

For the City of Lake Worth to finally get on with fixing our roads we’ll need a very good turnout today and a lot more “Yes” votes. Here are the precincts and the polling locations (precinct numbers highlighted):
