Big turnout for the first day of early voting in Marion County [View all]

INDIANAPOLIS — Early voting started Tuesday in Indiana. In Marion County, that meant a busy day at the City-County Building downtown.

The doors opened at 8 a.m. and — by 4:30 p.m. — the Marion County Clerk said 1,250 people cast their ballot on day one of early voting in Indiana.

“This is the ultimate election, a general election in a Presidential year,” Marion County Clerk Kate Sweeney Bell said.

“I talked to voters today who had never voted before. A man in his 50’s came with this father in his 70’s, and it was important enough for them to come and their opinion,” she added.

Election officials expect the trend of long lines to continue with each day getting busier, as Election Day, Nov. 5 gets closer. In Marion County, the City-County Building will be the site for early voting right up until Election Day, but it won’t be the only early voting site.
