(Hillsboro)--In an effort to reduce election costs, the Montgomery County Board approved to consolidate six precincts into three. According to Montgomery County Clerk and Recorder Sandy Leitheiser, the precincts consolidated were in the Coffeen, Witt and Nokomis areas.

Under the consolidation: East Fork #1 and #4 precincts were consolidated into one precinct name East Fork #1. Their polling place will be at the East Fork Township building. Nokomis #2 and #4 precincts were consolidated into one precinct name Nokomis Precinct #2. Their polling place will be at the Memorial Park House. As a result of the consolidation Nokomis Precinct #5 will be renamed Nokomis Precinct #4 and will vote at the St. Louis Parish Center.
