TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (WTWO/WAWV) — The Vigo County Election board met on Friday, March 3, 2023, and approved the 2023 municipal ballot and approved changes to the vote center plan.
During the meeting it was stated that board members were shown the 2023 municipal ballot prior to the meeting. A motion was made, and the ballot was approved.
The board updated the vote center plan by removing the voting location in Seelyville. County Clerk, Brad Newman, said that the town of Seelyville requested that change and the board agreed.
The board also updated the plan by changing the Indiana State University voting center to a five-day location. Previously, ISU was a one-day location. This change will allow for early voting on campus and accommodate finals week at ISU.
The table below outlines the vote center plan that was approved in the meeting for the 2023 municipal election.

Newman said he believes this election is a good opportunity to set the bar for the next presidential election.
“Obviously, the last election, we had one individual that wanted to change the ballot and the ballot type. And we did that. At the cost of the taxpayers,” Newman said. “This time we kind of thought about the process, so we had the candidates come in and gave them an opportunity, we had them sign a data sheet so twenty minutes before we’re about the have an election, we don’t have this problem again,” Newman added.
