Starke County Election Board Discusses Upcoming Public Test for Voting Machines

Citizens interested in getting a little bit of “voting practice” in prior to the May Primary Election will be pleased to hear that a test voting day will be held next week.

The upcoming public test for voting machines was discussed during Wednesday morning’s Starke County Election Board meeting. Starke County Clerk Vicki Cooley said the test is being held at 2 p.m. on Tuesday, April 3rd.

Cooley explained that this test day will be a unique opportunity for individuals to vote as many times as they want since it will just be a demonstration. She said the goal of this event is to allow voters to get comfortable with the machines.

She added that a MicroVote representative and other election officials will be on site to answer any questions.

The test day will take place next Tuesday on the second floor of the Starke County Court House located at 53 E. Washington Street.
