Tuesday is Primary Election Day.

The state delayed the election by a month due to COVID-19. The week of early voting ended at noon today.

Precautions will be taken Tuesday to help protect voters and poll workers from the virus. At each polling place, poll workers will have masks, gloves and hand sanitizer, and hand sanitizer will be available to voters.

Voters must vote at the polling place designated for their precinct and present their photo ID to cast a ballot. Voters who do not know their voting precinct can check by looking at their voters registration card, checking their registration information online at www.indianavoters.com, or calling the clerk’s office, 812-481-7035.

Voters must select a ballot to vote in the primary election. For those selecting a Republican ballot, the only race that has a choice on the ballot is U.S. president; and one of the two candidates on the ballot has already suspended his campaign.

Those choosing a Democratic ballot will have to make some choices. For county council at-large, four people are running to fill the three spots to represent the party on the fall ballot. The three that earn those spots will face three Republican incumbents. Three candidates are also vying for the Democratic nomination for District 8 U.S. representative.
