Abstract: 
Reassigning citizens to vote at a different polling place causes a persistent shift from in-person to mail-in voting and a transitory drop in total turnout. The turnout loss is driven by inattentive voters, who miss the deadline for requesting a mail-in ballot. The effects are more driven by the reassignment itself and less by the changes in distance to the polling location. Explicit notification about polling place reassignments could prevent losses in turnout.
