COLUMBUS, Ind. — Bartholomew County Commissioners are expecting a large voter turnout in November and have made an investment to make sure it is a smooth process.
The board unanimously approved a $5,000 expenditure to lease 10 more poll pads. The addition will allow 13 of the 18 vote centers to have three check-in stations. More check-in stations are expected to significantly reduce waiting time at the most popular voting centers.
Voting centers at the Shiloh Baptist Church, Clifford Fire Department, REMC Building on Deaver Road, Southwest Fire Department and the White Creek Lutheran Church will maintain two check-in stations.
