What do voters think of Delaware County's new vote centers
7pm to 8pm @
Muncie Central High School
Auditorium
801 N. Walnut St., Muncie, IN
What voters think about Delaware County’s new vote centers, used for the first time for the May primary, will be shared at a free public forum at 7 p.m. Monday, Oct. 5, in the Muncie Central High School auditorium.
Monday, Oct. 5, also is the last day to register to vote. Citizens are encouraged to register to vote if they are not already registered, and citizens who believe they are registered to vote should double-check to make sure they are still registered. Citizens can register to vote or check their registration at VOTE411.org.
The public forum is being organized by VSTOP, which was responsible for conducting the exit poll survey about vote centers, in partnership with the League of Women Voters of Muncie-Delaware County and the Delaware County clerk’s office. Survey results from the May primary will be shared.
Organizers plan to survey Delaware County voters again during the general election in November as they exit the vote centers. They want to compare feedback and assess whether residents view vote centers as more convenient than the precinct-based model previously used in the county.
With vote centers, voters can vote at any of Delaware County’s 26 vote centers. Voters are no longer assigned a specific precinct polling place to vote.
Indiana counties have been permitted to adopt vote centers since 2006. Seventy-two of Indiana’s 92 counties use vote centers.
