Churches? For real? Never occurred to me that was a possibility. Where are you from?
In my neck of the woods it's city hall and schools. Public, secular buildings.
I'm in one of the bluest cities in the country and mine is a church. Pisses me off
I was thinking the same thing. I’ve only ever seen local voting in various schools and municipal buildings, so i looked up my local precincts:
At first I thought could be because the schools have tightened up security in recent years when it comes to visitors, but in next zone over in the same school district:
Kansas, where it is a mix of churches and government buildings.
I vote in a church, but it isn't one of the big cathedral type buildings. It looks a lot like an elementary school, and they don't even have much in the way of religious iconography in the part we vote other than a small hanging cross in a hallway. I moved within the same city and the prior one was also in a church that also looked like an elementary school.
Before that I lived in a different city and the polling place was in the courthouse, and it had the ten commandments posted up.
I live in the capitol of florida and my polling place is also a church
Yep I voted in a big side social room of a church. It used to be held in the high school gym when I was in school but I think school security concerns ultimately nudged them to use the church instead
