WARSAW — Kosciusko County Clerk Ann Torpy reports the county experienced record-setting early voting ahead of today’s election.
“Early voting walk-in voters, we had 13,674,” Torpy said Monday afternoon.
The pre-election day turnout comes after officials saw a strong increase in voter registration.
Torpy said she believed figures tabulated on Monday represent an all-time record, “at least since 1996.”
Early voting wrapped up at noon Monday, and election workers were busy preparing for Tuesday’s vote. Torpy expressed confidence that they were ready for a day in which most interest seemed focused on a heated race for U.S. president between the top two choices former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris.
Local ballots have only one contested race — a Warsaw Community School Board race for District 4 between incumbent Randy Polston and challenger Emerson Poort.
Otherwise, the state ballot features congressional races as well as contests for governor, Indiana Attorney General, a US Senate race and several Supreme court decisions.
Nationally, 78 million people have voted by mail and in person.
Polls in Indiana are open from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Overnight lows hovered in the mid-sixties, and those heading to the polls in northern Indiana can expect windy conditions, a good chance of rain, and high temperatures near 70.
Hoosiers can text ‘IN’ to 45995 with election-related questions, and more information is available at IndianaVoters.com.
