Early Voting Begins Today in Indiana

Vote election

Early voting has begun in St. Joseph County and across Indiana. The practice of early voting is increasingly popular with voters across the country as it greatly expands opportunities for voting.

A number of important races are taking place in the area, including the race between Jackie Walorski and Joe Bock for Indiana’s 2nd Congressional district. A number of local and state races will also be decided, including the county prosecutor seat being vacated by long-time prosecutor Mike Dvorak in St. Joseph County.

St. Joseph County residents can cast their ballot starting today at the County-City Building in downtown South Bend or at the County Services Building in Mishawaka.

Early voting hours are below:

Monday – Friday, October 7 – October 31, 2014 from 8:00 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.
