Voting at the McHale complex is still available on Tuesday, Nov. 7th from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.
All who vote for the 2023 municipal election will vote for mayor, clerk-treasurer, two common council at-large seats, and for your city council ward.
“Voting is important because even though it may be one vote, it’ll make a difference,” senior Casen Lake said. “It’s crucial for younger voices to vote because as older generations phase out or become out of touch with current affairs, we fall into line to take their spot to vote for our future.”
Logansport has a total of five wards. Voters are only eligible to vote in the ward they live in.
While it is too late to register to vote in this election, residents can still register by visiting a local county clerk’s office or by visiting indianavoters.in.gov for future elections.
Those elected will begin on Jan. 1, 2024.
