Hamilton Southeastern (HSE) School Superintendent Allen Bourff told the school board Wednesday night that it’s “crunch time” with less than one week to go before the May 3rd primary election, which will include a school funding referendum.  Bourff said even though election day is drawing closer, he and his staff will continue to speak with groups up until election day.

Early voting is available at the Hamilton County Government Building in Downtown Noblesville.  The hours are:

8:00am-4:30pm April 28 & 29

9:00am-4:00pm Saturday, April 30th

8:00am-12noon on Monday, May 2nd

“I encourage everyone to go out and vote,” Bourff said.
