Eligible voters can start casting their ballots for city and town leaders and a school referendum today and in the next two weeks leading up to the municipal election Nov. 5.
Voters will choose among Republican, Democrat and Independent candidates who they want to lead their cities and towns as mayors, clerk-treasurers or members of their city and town councils. The candidate pool was narrowed during the May primary election, when Republicans selected their top picks to advance to the upcoming general election.
Most voters in the county have decisions to make, except those who live in New Whiteland, which has no contested races, and some who live in unincorporated Johnson County.
In White River Township, voters who would not normally vote in a municipal election will be asked to head to the polls to decide whether to approve a Center Grove schools referendum.
The Johnson County Courthouse will be open weekdays for early voting beginning today. It will also be open Saturday and Nov. 2, and until noon Nov. 4, the day before Election Day.
The Trafalgar Public Library, Vineyard Community Church in Greenwood, John R. Drybread Community Center in Edinburgh and White River Public Library are other places residents can vote early, but only on certain dates. You can vote at any of the locations regardless of your address, as long as you live in Johnson County.
None of the votes are counted until Election Day.
