Porter County Government - Board of Election and Registration - November 13th, 2026

The Porter County Board of Election and Registration’s November 13, 2026 meeting reviewed the 2026 election, including mobile voting locations, voter access, poll-worker training, ballot privacy, and a precinct-boundary issue to be corrected after election deadlines. Staff reported that ballot-marking equipment and Express units were acquired in March; the related kiosks had been paid for, with most delivered, and were being retrofitted for the equipment ahead of the next primary. No contract award, vendor selection, or dollar amount was identified. The board also discussed that any future pricing for a replacement or similar mobile voting vehicle should account for accessibility and a more usable driver/passenger layout; no purchase was approved.

The board discussed election-day wait times and outreach, and noted that new voters would be assigned to the correct locations after the applicable deadlines. A motion was made to reserve meeting space for the board on the third Thursday of each month in the coming year; staff will contact the facility to arrange it. No other procurement action was identified.
