The Baldwin County Commission made changes to voting precincts throughout the county in 2023: "Due to the growth in Baldwin County and the effect it has had on many of the County’s existing polling locations, the Baldwin County Commission adopted Resolution #2024-020 in November 2023, which approved various changes to County polling locations ahead of the 2024 state-wide elections."
Criteria for poll locations include availability of space (usually at churches), numbers of equipment/voting machines available, numbers of poll workers available, and population density.
