Tomorrow Is The Last Day To Vote In Indiana 2020 Primaries

The last day to vote in 2020 primary elections is tomorrow. 

Monroe County election supervisor Karen Wheeler says registered voters can go to their designated polling location to cast a vote. 

She adds that this year, numbers for absentee ballots turned in is unusually high because of COVID-19. So far, 14,082 returned absentee ballots have been processed. In 2016, walk-in and absentee ballots for Monroe County totaled over 10,600. 

In-person voting totals 1,981 so far. 

Wheeler says absentee ballots are a secure way to vote, and that once the ballots are turned into election central from the US mail service, they are put in a vault.
