Board approves Porter Township referendum language ahead of August 3 deadline

Porter County Election Board (as referred to in the transcript) · July 23, 2026

Summary

The Porter County Election Board voted unanimously to approve the legal wording for a Porter Township referendum previously cleared by the DLGF; members were told the state deadline to approve it is August 3.

The Porter County Election Board voted to approve the legal language for a Porter Township referendum after the Department of Local Government Finance (DLGF) had already reviewed and approved the wording. Chair called for the motion and it was seconded and approved by voice vote with unanimous 'Aye' responses.

Clerk explained the process and timeline, saying, "the state deadline to approve it from us is August 3," and that the DLGF's signoff meant the legal language was already established. Members asked for separate motions for each referendum item; the Porter Township language was approved in its own motion. The board recorded an all‑in‑favor voice vote and agreed staff would notify the school corporation for the minutes. The board said no signatures were required for this step.
