Starke County Clerk Bernadette Manuel announced Monday morning that residents asking for an absentee ballot in the upcoming June 2 Primary Election may do so by messaging the Starke County Clerk’s Office through its Facebook page.
Absentee voting will begin on Tuesday, May 5 at 8 a.m. CT. The deadline for the Voter Registration Office to receive an application to vote absentee by mail is Thursday, May 21 by midnight.
