Emanuel Lutheran will not serve as a Porter County vote center in November, staff says

Elections staff reported that Emanuel Lutheran will not be available as a vote center for the November election because construction at the site is proceeding more slowly than expected.

"They just emailed us a week and a half ago that the construction is not moving along as fast as they would and they will not be available for November now," the elections staff member said, adding that the county has six alternative locations within roughly two miles and will post signage and update the website and social channels to notify voters.

Board members confirmed the remaining vote-center list largely matches the primary roster and noted staff said Emanuel Lutheran expects to return next year. Staff emphasized that nearby centers will be used to ensure voters have options close to the affected neighborhood.
