The Association of Indiana Counties is reminding voters of a few changes in effect during November’s General Election.
Those planning to cast a straight party ballot are encouraged to be aware of the changes to ensure their vote is counted properly and as intended. Senate Enrolled Act 61 requires voters to select individual candidates when voting for any at-large offices. That’s opposed by one party receiving votes completely through the ballot.
The option still exists to cast a straight party ticket, but it will not count for the at-large races or ballot questions, according to a press release.
IAC is encouraging Hoosiers to educate themselves on the candidates and the issues to help avoid any confusion before casting a ballot.
The group says making voters aware of the change will hopefully avoid any failures to see votes counted.
