Vigo County Election Board Election Certification Meeting - 11/13/26

The Vigo County Election Board met on November 13, 2026, to review and certify the 2026 midterm election. The board approved the prior meeting minutes and voted to accept West Terre Haute’s request for the county election board to administer the town’s November 2, 2027 primary, consistent with its existing election model. Members reviewed provisional and absentee ballots, approving ballots where registration or documentation issues were resolved and denying several ballots where eligibility or precinct requirements were not met. Absentee ballots numbered 7, 9, and 11–14 were approved; ballots 8 and 10 were denied because the required issue had not been corrected. The board reported no additional late or military ballots and noted that polling places collected 577 voter-registration or address-change forms, with roughly 1,500 registrations awaiting processing after the registration period.

The board voted to recess to update the ballot totals before proceeding with election certification; the transcript does not include the final certification vote. No procurement, contract award, or spending decision was identified. The vote approving the town’s request concerns election administration, not a procurement action.
