Vote totals are piling up in Starke and Pulaski County as Election Day is just over one week from today.
Pulaski County says they are reporting a relatively high turnout for November’s General Election, but have not broken any single day records for ballots cast.
Members of the Pulaski County clerk’s office on Friday reported 813 ballots cast in-person at the Winamac Public Library. Voting by travel board has not been counted in Pulaski County, but the Clerk’s office says they have received 130 ballots by mail. Another 80 ballots were mailed to prospective voters but have not been returned just yet.
Pulaski County Clerk Christie Hoffa says they have not experienced any problems with voter identification information not matching registration. The Indiana State Police and the Secretary of State’s office are conducting ongoing investigations into statewide reports of unexpected changes in voter information.
The ISP has advised they will not be commenting on the matter any further, but have said they intend to work with multiple county prosecutor offices seeking charges against the individuals allegedly responsible.
The clerk’s office in Pulaski County says that while they’ve had several members of the public place calls to ensure they are properly registered to vote, no problems have been reported.
In Starke County, 1,080 ballots have been cast in-person. Another 194 ballots have been cast through the mail, while voting by travel board totals 33 in the county. Employees with the clerk’s office in Starke County also say that they have not seen any reports of voter registration problems at this time.
Early voting will continue until Monday, November 7th at Noon. Election Day is Tuesday, November 8th.
