Vanderburgh County Clerk Carla Hayden announced today that Old National Events Plaza located at 715 Locust St, Evansville, Indiana will be used for inperson absentee, commonly referred to as “early voting†beginning October 6th. Hayden said, “We usually use the Election Office in the Civic Center for the in-person absentee voting period, but using that location during the COVID-19 pandemic just was not feasible, so we had to find an alternate site.â€
Indiana law requires in-person absentee voting to be in one location of the clerk’s office as designated by the clerk for the 28-day period prior to Election Day. “For the purposes of in-person absentee voting in the clerk’s office, Old National Events Plaza will serve as that designated location. Voters will enter through the Aiken Theatre entrance. Personnel, signage, and queueing measures will ensure that voters are directed to the right location within the facility. Free, one hour, on-street parking is available near the entrance, so it will be convenient for voters and located just across the street from our usual site at the Civic Center.†Hayden said.
Voting at Old National Events Plaza will be from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday beginning October 6th and ending at noon on Monday, November 2nd. Voting will also take place from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on Saturday, October 24th, and 31st. Voters are reminded to bring a photo ID with them when voting in person.
In-person voting at the library locations will begin on October 19th and continue through October 30th. Hours are Monday through Thursday from Noon to 6:00 p.m. and Fridays from Noon to 5:00 p.m.
