Vermillion County Council approves resolution to designate county as vote‑center county
Summary
The council approved Resolution 2025‑07 to designate Vermillion County as a vote‑center county, allowing registered voters to cast ballots at any of several designated centers; commissioners had approved the plan at their June 3 meeting and the county election board must file a plan with the Indiana Election Division.
The Vermillion County Council on June 9 approved Resolution 2025‑07 designating Vermillion County a vote‑center county under the statute cited at the meeting ("Indiana Code 3 1 1 1 8.1" as read aloud in the packet). The commissioners had approved the measure at their June 3 meeting and asked the council to concur.
Under the vote‑center model explained at the meeting, any registered voter in the county may cast a ballot at any vote center location in the county rather than being restricted to a single precinct polling place. The clerk's office listed seven primary vote centers and three satellite two‑Saturday locations in the packet: Highland American Legion; Cayuga American; Dana Firehouse (Health Township); Clinton Firehouse; Fairview Park Town Hall; Newport Lions Club; and Wayside Church in Clinton. Satellite voting locations noted for two Saturdays before the election include the courthouse, Clinton Public Library and Highland American Legion. A correction in the meeting clarified the Fairview location is Fairview Park Town Hall.
The county election board must draft and unanimously approve a county vote‑center plan and file it with the Indiana Election Division for the model to take effect. The council's vote was a required fiscal‑body concurrence following the commissioners' approval. Miss Brown moved to approve the resolution; Rick Costello seconded. The council approved by voice vote.
