Election Board Chairman Steve Harper asked how early voting was compared to the last presidential primary 4 years ago and Bennitt said it’s hard to tell because it was a COVID year. She said they believe it is low and other counties are also seeing less early voting.
Discussing the primary process, Harper said he wished there was a class that everyone had to take to understand the process which is a party function to determine who will represent your party in the November elections. In Indiana, voters must declare a party for the primary elections and Mr. Harper said he believes that it’s a good thing. He estimated this election will cost between $10 and $15 a voter when you add up all the expenses.
