Dubois County Election Board will have a public meeting on Monday, August 23, 2021, at 5:30 p.m. to present the Dubois County Vote Center Plan.

This meeting will be in the Dubois County Annex Commissioner/Council Room.

Under the plan, all voters will have access to vote at any location on election day rather than each precinct having designated polling locations.

For Presidential and Mid-term Election cycles, the county will provide ten vote centers.

For municipal elections, the county will have six voting centers open from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.

  2. Thyen-Clark Cultural Center Atrium, 100 3rd Ave., Jasper, IN  47546

Absentee voting will still occur beginning 28 days prior to Election Day as per Indiana law. That will be at the Dubois County Courthouse Annex and there will be two satellite centers open on two Saturdays before Election Day.  The suggested satellite voter center locations to be open two Saturdays prior to Election Day from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. are Tri-County YMCA in Ferdinand and the Huntingburg Event Center.

An additional absentee voting location will be available at 35th Street Fire Station in Jasper two Saturdays prior and the full week prior to Election Day.

Voters from every precinct may vote at any location or satellite vote center location. Every ballot style for each precinct in Dubois County will be available at each vote center and each satellite vote center. Depending on the election, the number of ballot styles varies greatly; therefore, this plan does not attempt to provide a specific number of ballot styles.

The plan will be available on the county website and county Facebook Page.
