CIVIL DIVISION :P3' PETITION AND NOW, comes the following Petitioners, residents of East Pennsboro Township, through the undersigned counsel, and hereby petition this Honorable Court for the division of East Pennsboro Lower Precinct into two election districts pursuant to Sections 502 and 503 of the Pennsylvania Election Code, 25 P.S. §§ 2702 and 2703, and in support thereof state as follows: 1. East Pennsboro Lower Precinct is a duly organized and existing First Class Township of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, with its principal place of business being located at its Township offices located at 98 S. Enola Drive, Enola, Pennsylvania, 17025. 2. According to the precinct registration summaries as of May 14, 2002, East Pennsboro Lower Precinct consists of one election district that serves 3,251 registered voters. 3. East Pennsboro Lower Precinct is the 9th largest of the 9,426 voting districts in the State and has the most registered voters of any voting district in Cumberland County. 4. According to the April 1, 2000 census, 5,152 people reside in this voting district. East Pennsboro Lower Precinct has the 33rd highest population of the 9,426 voting districts in the State. 19220_1 5. Currently, voting for the East Pennsboro Lower Precinct is held at West Creek Hills Elementary School located at 400 Erford Road, Camp Hill, PA. 17011. 6. Section 502 of the Pennsylvania Election Code, 25 P.S. § 2702 (Supp.), provides in part as follows: [T]he court of common pleas of the county in which the same are located, may form or create new election districts by dividing or redividing any borough, township, ward or election district into two or more election districts of compact and contiguous territory .... Except for good cause shown, election districts so formed shall not contain more than one thousand two hundred (1,200) registered electors. 7. Section 503 of the Pennsylvania Election Code,25 P.S. § 2703 (Supp.), further provides in part, that: Upon the petition of twenty registered electors of any township, borough, ward or election district, to the court of the proper county, praying for the division or redivision of such township, borough, ward or election district ... the said court shall refer the said petition to the county bohrd of elections, which shall make a full investigation of the facts, and shall report to the court its findings and recommendations as to the division ... prayed for. If the county board shall find that a division ... of election districts will promote the convenience of the electors and the public interests, it shall recommend a proper division ... which must have clearly visible physical boundaries, and shall accompany its report with a map and a verbal description of the boundaries, as well as a certification of the number of electors registered in each of the resulting election districts for the immediately preceding general or municipal election. 8. The undersigned Petitioners, attached hereto as Exhibit "A", residents of East Pennsboro Lower Precinct, believe and therefore aver, that it is necessary and appropriate to divide the East Pennsboro Lower Precinct into two election districts so as to promote the convenience of the electors and the public interest, for the following reasons: a. The East Pennsboro Lower Precinct with 3,251 registered voters is currently the largest of all voting precincts in Cumberland County, and as such, is 19220 l more than 2.5 times the statutorily recommended size of 1,200 registered voters for election districts; b. The large number of registered voters who must cast their votes at this single polling place creates delays in voting during primary and general elections and discourages prospective voters from exercising their right to vote. In fact, in the 2002 primary and general elections, numerous voters in this precinct came and left without voting because of the long lines and length of time to cast their votes. It is also believed is therefore averred, that some voters do not even bother to vote because of their knowledge of these long lines. c. The East Pennsboro Lower Precinct continues to experience growth in both its housing and population and it is therefore believed and averred, that the present situation which discourages residents from voting, will only worsen, unless relief is granted and the precinct spit; d. Adding additional election booths or polling tables may not alleviate the long lines or unreasonable waits by voters in East Pennsboro Lower Precinct, since Section 1220 of the Pennsylvania Election Code, 25 P.S. § 3060(a), prohibits more than ten (10) voters at any one time in the polling place (the room provided for voting), outside of the enclosed space at any primary or general election; f. The western and eastern portions of the East Pennsboro Lower Precinct are not presently contiguous to each other, but rather are divided by the East Pennsboro Upper Precinct. The polling place for the lower precinct is located in the eastern portion of the precinct; 19220_1 g. The location of the polling place in the eastern portion of the precinct has and continues to become more inconvenient to the growing population in the western portion of the East Pennsboro Lower Precinct; h. The county committees of both the Republican and Democrat Parties are organized by electing one male and one female committee person at the voting district level. The registered Republicans and Democrats in this voting district are under-represented on their respective county committees for organizational and endorsement purposes; i. Since each party elects only two county committee members for this voting district the large population creates an undue burden upon them in communications with the voters of this voting district; 9. Based on the April 1, 2000 census, the East Pennsboro Lower Precinct contains 5,152 people. It is believed and therefore averred, that the eastern part of the lower precinct contains a population of approximately 3,362 people with approximately 2,059 registered voters. It is believed and therefore averred, that the western part of the lower precinct contains a population of approximately 1,520 people with approximately 1,192 registered voters. 10. The existing geography and demographics of the East Pennsboro Lower Precinct naturally suggest that the aforesaid western and eastern portions could easily be separated to constitute their own election precincts, and be referred to as "East Pennsboro Lower West" and East Pennsboro Lower East". 19220 1 11. The western and eastern portions of the East Pennsboro Lower Precinct, which may constitute the new voting districts, are as depicted on the East Pennsboro Township map attached hereto as Exhibit "B", which illustrates the township and its voting precincts. 12. Petitioners believe and therefore aver, that the Oyster Mill Playhouse, located at 1001 Oyster Mill Road, Camp Hill, PA. 17011, would be suitable and is available as a polling place to serve the suggested "East Pennsboro Lower West" precinct, and that such place is also handicapped accessible. The suggested "East Pennsboro Lower East" precinct could continue to be served by the existing polling place at West Creek Hills Elementary School. 13. Although dividing the East Pennsboro Lower Precinct between its western and eastern portions as suggested may result in each half exceeding the recommended 1,200 registered electors for each district as provided for under 25 P.S. § 2702, the petitioners believe and therefore aver, that good cause exists as that term is used under section 2702, to exceed this recommendation. Many other voting precincts in Cumberland County, with voter registration numbers like those being proposed, presently exceed 1,200 electors in their districts and do not experience voter inconvenience and delay like that presently being experienced in the East Pennsboro Lower Precinct. 14. For all the foregoing reasons, it is respectfully submitted that the East Pennsboro Lower Precinct must be divided in order to accommodate the convenience of the electors and to promote the public interest. WHEREFORE, the Petitioners, through the undersigned counsel, respectfully pray that this Honorable Court direct the County Board of Elections to investigate fully and promptly the facts as alleged in this Petition and to report to this Honorable Court its findings and 19220 1 recommendations as to a division of the East Pennsboro Lower Precinct in order to promote and serve the convenience of the electors and public interest. / Respecifully submitted, Dilworth Paxson LLP 305 N.
