“The safety and well-being of our voters is first and foremost.”

(Ripley Co., Ind.) - The Ripley County Clerk is encouraging all voters to vote by mail during these "difficult and uncertain" times.

Indiana has confirmed that the state will have in-person voting on June 2. The original date for primary election was May 5; however, due to the coronavirus pandemic, was rescheduled to June 2.

“The safety and well-being of our voters is first and foremost,” says Clerk Bradford. “That is why I encourage voters to vote early by mail. Simply call our office at 812-689-4783 and request an absentee application to be sent to you or go to our county website at www.ripleycounty.com to print out an application.”

In an effort to insure the safety and well-being of those who work as members of the precinct boards at the polling locations, Indiana has declared that those working the polls do not need to be residents of the county in which they are working. They do need to be registered to vote in Indiana.

These are paid positions.
