"Why didn't the town crier alert the voters?"

Years ago, I went to vote in a local election.  For some reason, the election took place at a different polling place than usual.  While I imagine most voters took this in stride, at least one voter was irked. 

"Why is the polling place different this time?" a voter asked one of the polling place workers.  "Why, if I hadn't read the card you mailed about the change, I never would have known about it!"

"That's what the card is for," the worker replied evenly.

I'm still not sure what sort of notification the voter expected.
