Crown Point School Corporation addresses outstanding checks and early voting preparations

Lake County's government meeting on April 3, 2025, highlighted significant achievements and upcoming electoral events that will impact the community. The surveyor's office received a prestigious platinum achievement for its Geographic Information Systems (GIS) work, a recognition that underscores the importance of accurate mapping for various county functions, including elections. This accomplishment was made possible through the board's funding, demonstrating a commitment to enhancing local services.

In a related financial matter, the board addressed an outstanding bill of $300 for checks that were returned to the county by Rise Church. These checks, issued in 2022 for three polling places, were lost and subsequently returned. The board agreed to reissue the payments, clarifying that the issue was not due to any error on their part.

Additionally, the meeting provided important updates regarding the upcoming elections. Early voting will commence on April 8, with locations designated for residents of the Crown Point School Corporation and surrounding areas. Voter registration is set to close on April 7, emphasizing the need for community members to ensure their participation in the upcoming ballot, which will include two public questions.

These discussions reflect the county's ongoing efforts to improve electoral processes and community engagement, ensuring that residents are informed and prepared for the upcoming voting period.
