As of Monday afternoon, more than 1.5 million early votes have been cast in the State of Indiana through Sunday.  Early voting is now done.

All that is left is election day and the counting of the ballots.  As an FYI, the vote count normally takes longer here in Hamilton County because there are usually people in line to vote when the polls close, and all in line will be allowed to cast their ballots.

I will be watching the Hamilton Southeastern School Board election Tuesday night so watch this site and my social media for the latest updates on the three township school board races.  I will also keep an eye on some legislative and county races.

As a last minute reminder, even if you cast a straight-party ticket, remember you must select your chosen candidates for Hamilton County Council and school board before you press that button to finalize your ballot.

I will just say this – as someone that has covered news in Fishers for 13 years and resided in fishers for 23 years – elections matter.  Your vote impacts decisions to be made at the state, county and school district level.  Your vote matters.
