Marion County seeks poll workers as absentee ballots begin mailing Sept. 18

Marion County elections officials encouraged residents to sign up as poll workers and reminded voters about absentee-ballot timing at the Sept. 4 board meeting.

"If you've requested an absentee ballot, you've submitted an application, check your mailbox because it's coming your way," the clerk said, adding that absentee ballots are required to be out by the 19th but that the office will mail them on the 18th. The clerk also repeated recruitment resources and contact options: voters can check registration at indianavoters.com, sign up at pollworker.indy.gov, or call the Marion County board phone number at (317) 327-5100 (option 4) for poll-worker information.

Becker said the office has begun sending "save the date" cards to inspectors who worked the last election as part of a soft launch for poll-worker recruiting and encouraged political parties to assign staff for early-voting shifts starting Oct. 6 at the City-County Building.
