FRUITLAND TWP. — There will be a new way to vote in Fruitland Township, but unless you are used to voting at the McMillan Elementary School precinct, you might not even notice a difference.

While eliminating the McMillan Elementary precinct, the township will still use its polling spots at the township hall, 4545 Nestrom Rd., and the township’s community club building at corner of South Shore Drive and Lamos Road.
What precipitated the change, said Rillema, was that the township simply had too many precincts for its population.
