The Marion County Election Board approved Resolution 5-26 on Aug. 26 to remove from the ballot an uncontested municipal contest for the Town of Clermont, invoking Indiana Code 3-10-6-7.5. Director Patrick Becker told the board the authority allows the election board, by unanimous resolution, to place only contested municipal general-election races on the ballot.
Becker said the action reduces the number of ballot styles — the contest in Clermont would eliminate three ballot styles for that election — and noted the resolution legally expires on Jan. 1. The board moved and approved the resolution during the meeting.
