(WSLS 10) - Danville City Council holds a public hearing today as it looks to change voting districts. The proposal will merge Ward Five which currently votes at Forest Hills Elementary school into Ward Three. Voting for the combined precinct would take place at Langston Focus School. The change is needed because of fencing with locking gates at Forest Hills and limited parking. If passed, the changes will take effect for the General Election in November.
