Some Milwaukee voters have a new polling place for today's partisan primary.
Election officials are telling people to check before heading out.
Ward 143 voters will go to Center Street Library instead of the Jackson School.
Wards 145 and 169 have moved to Starm's Early Childhood Center, while Ward 247 voters will now cast ballots at the Beecher Terrace Apartments.

The fire that destroyed the Lincoln Avenue School was sparked by rags that caught fire inside of a hallway garbage can.
Fire Chief Aaron Lipsky says surveillance video showed custodial employees using cleaning chemicals before the June 30th fire.
Investigators say chemical reactions created heat inside the plastic container in the flames spread to furniture and other items in the hallway.
The fire has been ruled accidental and officials say they found no sign of arson.
The rest of the building will be demolished in the coming weeks.

Milwaukee could temporarily stop new data center projects for up to a year while the city rights rules for where and how they can be built.
A city zoning committee cleared the proposal on a technical review yesterday.
The measure goes to a city plan commission next month, followed by common council committees, the full council and Mayor Cavalier Johnson.
A separate proposal would create a data center zoning category and limit their size to 60,000 square feet.
Milwaukee could get over 150 new apartments downtown.
The details are included in the proposed redevelopment of the former county medical examiner's office.
The $45 million project called the I-MARA would replace the building on Highland Avenue with a seven-story apartment complex.
Units would range from studios to three-bedroom apartments.
The plan also includes commercial and community space, parking, and a courtyard with a dog park.
Urban Milwaukee dot com reports county officials have selected the development team but still need to negotiate an option to purchase the property.
And that's the local update.

High on Mike Clemens with sports where it's game 2 of the Brewers in San Diego tonight.
Last night the crew had a 2-1 lead when Logan Henderson left a change-up over the plate and Jackson Merrill smacked it over the center field wall for a 3-2 Padres victory.
did they leave Henderson in a little too long?
Pat Murphy.
He was out
We didn't think we had coverage, good leverage coverage for three, and he still was, his pitches were under control, so he did fine.
We just didn't want Meryl to beat us.
He's so hot lately, and, you know, William called for that pitch down and away, but...
You know, he missed over the plate with it.
So it's unfortunate.
It is going to be mostly sunny with a high in the low to mid 80s today.
Tonight partly cloudy, a shower or two possible with a low into the low to mid 60s tomorrow.
Scattered showers and thunderstorms otherwise partly to mostly cloudy in the upper 70s to low 80s.
