The LaPorte County Election Board opened discussion on June 13 about finding a replacement voting location after Center Township Fire District informed officials it will no longer serve as a polling place.
Board members said the replacement site needs ample parking, a large, accessible interior and familiarity to voters who previously used the fire district site. Suggestions raised during the meeting included contacting the former fire station (if available for lease) and soliciting public nominations for candidate locations.
The board asked residents with suggestions to email Taylor Van Sickle at the clerk’s office and said staff will reach out to property owners to determine willingness to host a voting center. No vote was taken; board members agreed to collect options and evaluate suitability ahead of the next election cycle.
Next steps: board members and staff will solicit and vet site proposals and return the issue for final selection at a future meeting so the county can secure an accessible, adequately sized polling location before the upcoming election.
