Those who want to vote in the May 8 primary but won’t be able to make it to the polls on Election Day have a few options. The Starke County Clerk’s Office is now accepting applications for mail-in ballots. They’ll be sent out to qualified voters starting the week of March 24, according to county election officials.

Voters in Starke County can request to vote absentee-by-mail by calling 574-772-9160.

The Pulaski County Clerk’s Office can be reached at 574-946-3313.

The option to vote absentee-by-mail is available to those who won’t be able to vote on Election Day due to a variety of reasons, such as work obligations, illness, injury, or religious reasons. Voters who are at least 65 years of age and those who have a disability are also eligible to vote by mail. Complete eligibility guidelines can be found on the Indiana Secretary of State’s Office website.

Additionally, any voter registered in Indiana may vote in-person at their local early voting site, starting April 10. Click here for more information on early voting in Starke County, or click here for information on early voting in Pulaski County.

Starke County Election Board Looks to Improve Early Voting Site

Posted on June 9, 2017

The Starke County Election Board wants to make it easier for voters to cast their ballots early at the courthouse. On Wednesday, board members discussed moving in-person absentee voting from the second floor to a currently-unused space on the first floor, according to County Clerk Vicki Cooley.

She says the change will make the voting location more accessible to people with disabilities. While the courthouse has an elevator, Cooley says it’s difficult to use and not always reliable.

The new space would be right next to the building’s main entrance. It would have room for poll workers, as well as two voting machines. Cooley adds that the room would be set aside for voting only. Voter registration and other election business would still take place in the clerk’s office upstairs.

One Election Day polling place was also reviewed by the election board Wednesday. Cooley says voting in the Oregon 2 precinct may be moved out of the Koontz Lake Fire Station to somewhere more accessible to voters with disabilities.
