In order to ensure that all citizens have a fair chance to cast a vote, the Pulaski County Travel Board is making some stops around the county prior to Election Day.
According to Pulaski County Election Board officials, the travel board will be in Winamac today at the Pulaski Health Care Center and the Hickory Creek nursing home. Earlier this week, the travel board was the Parkview Haven Retirement Home in Francesville.
Representatives with the Indiana Election Division report that there are certain conditions that must apply to a voter in order for them to be eligible to vote absentee-by-travel board. A voter can cast a ballot by travel board if they expect to be confined, due to an illness or injury, or if they’re expecting to care for a confined person at a private residence on Election Day.
Additionally, a voter would be eligible if they have a disability, if they believe their polling place is inaccessible to them, or if they’re physically incapable of completing the ballot and signing the affidavit on their own.
Election Division officials note that ballots will be delivered to these voters by a bi-partisan absentee voter board who will be able to provide assistance with the ballot. They also note that residents voting by travel board are not required to show a photo ID.
