Election board narrows poll-pad count to 40 for fall elections
Summary
Warrick County's election board voted to reduce the number of election-day poll pads from 44 to 40, reallocating a small number of devices from specified sites to ease early-voting processing; the motion passed 3–1.
The Warrick County Election Board voted to reduce its election-day poll-pad inventory from 44 to 40, with staff and members identifying specific sites where units could be withdrawn to ease management during the early-voting period.
The chair framed the motion as a logistic change intended to make processing poll pads from early voting less rushed. "So I'll make the motion... That we make that change the pull pads to 40 for the fall," the chair said. The board recorded three votes in favor and one opposed; the motion passed.
As proposed, the change removes one poll pad each from the Booneville library, Living Word Christian Church, the American Legion and Freeman Park to free up devices for early-voting reprogramming and reduce the rush to return equipment after Monday early-voting closes. Staff noted that reducing the pool will allow more time to reprogram devices for subsequent uses and smooth inventory handling.
The board asked staff to confirm the revised device list and to proceed with logistics for early-voting reprogramming.
