LaPorte County election board outlines mobile voting schedule and voter registration outreach

The LaPorte County Election Board reviewed voter registration procedures and outlined a schedule for its mobile voting unit, with the chair reading a list of planned locations and staff confirming the unit is scheduled to visit community centers and other public sites.

The update centered on improving access and outreach: the board named several sites where the mobile unit will appear, including Michigan City Senior Center, Kingsford Heights locations, Westville, Maple City Square, the Carriage House site, several American Legion posts, Prairie Library and other community centers. The chair also urged that the schedule be posted to the election board’s Facebook page and the county website to increase public awareness.

Board members and staff emphasized practical registration channels. The meeting reiterated that voters can register via the county website, by phone, email or at the post office; staff said they will update online calendars and contact pages so residents have clear instructions on how and where to register and where the mobile unit will be available.

The chair briefly noted campaign finance reporting paperwork during the meeting but no actions or deadlines were established in that discussion. The meeting concluded with staff acknowledging they would upload the mobile voting calendar and registration contact information to the county’s web and social channels.

The board did not take any formal vote related to the mobile unit schedule during the segments reviewed; next steps noted were administrative (posting schedules and contact details).
