Danbury officials are meeting Monday to discuss a possible change in polling places. 

A committee of the whole City Council is meeting on Monday night to discuss a proposal from the Republican Registrar of Voters to move the polling locations in two wards.  The matter will then be voted on at the Council's regular meeting on Tuesday. 

At their previous meeting more than a dozen residents spoke out against moving the location in Ward 6 from Park Avenue School to the Moose Lodge.  Ward 3 voting could be moved from Broadview Middle School to Stadley Rough School. 

Criticism of moving to the Moose Lodge included roads leading there not having sidewalks, it's at a bust intersection, the street is narrow lane and the lines aren't painted in the parking lot.  Those in favor of the Ward 3 move noted that the people right across from Broadview no longer vote there so Stadley Rough is more centrally located.

In an emailed statement Danbury Democratic Town Committee leader Joe DaSilva said despite the passage of three weeks and a light pre-election workload, Council President Cavo did not schedule the Committee of the Whole meeting until the end of the month.  City Council Democratic Leader Tom Saadi said he's concerned that this schedule is nothing more than a procedural gimmick to force an ill conceived and bad proposal through the Council with little time for public scrutiny.
