OFFICES TO BE ELECTED ~WASHINGTON COUNTY
GENERAL Election NOVEMBER 8, 2016
*New ballot instructions are given at the top of the ballot, per 2016 Indiana Legislative Session, concerning voting for the, At Large offices in all races pertaining to at large candidates. (County Council, Town Council, and City Council Members).
*This will mean: If a voter marks ‘straight ticket’ for whichever party, the voter MUST now go to the AT LARGE offices and cast their vote for the candidate(s).
For example: the office of County Council Member At Large will not automatically receive a vote for a candidate(s) if the voter marked “Straight Party”. For the At Large candidates to receive a vote, the voter must also cast a vote by coloring the box beside the candidates name on the ballot. This holds true for the Town Board Member candidates and School Board Member candidates.
