Warrick County election board approves staffing and equipment plan for upcoming election

The Warrick County Election Board on March 2, 2026, voted unanimously to approve staffing and equipment allocations for the upcoming election, setting a default of five poll workers, two poll pads and four voting machines for most polling locations and confirming totals of 93 poll workers, 44 poll pads and 90 voting machines.

The board’s chair summarized the default plan and asked members whether they agreed with ‘‘having that as sort of the default for the majority of the locations.’’ Board members signaled assent. The chair then walked through locations where different allocations were recommended, including a specific allocation for Boonville Public Library (seven workers, four poll pads, six machines) and a higher allocation proposed for Living Word Christian Church (seven workers, four poll pads, 10 machines). The chair noted a handwritten change for the Warrick County 4‑H Center from the standard plan and members discussed whether six machines were necessary; no change was objected to by the board.

The chair read the full list of 17 polling sites and the proposed staffing and equipment counts for each site to place the plan on the record. A board member summarized the totals—93 poll workers, 44 poll pads and 90 machines—and Paul Rudolph moved to approve the allocations “as discussed with 93 44 90 as previously discussed.” Mike Wilson seconded the motion. The board voted by voice; the motion passed 3–0.

The board noted there were no public comments at the meeting. Members agreed to determine a date for their next meeting later and closed the meeting after a unanimous voice vote to adjourn.

The board corrected a transcription spelling for the Warrick County 4‑H Center that appeared in the record as “Warwick.”
