From the Northwest Indiana Times:
The Lake County elections board voted Tuesday keep polling places for the May 7 referendum unchanged from last year's locations.
School officials will ask town voters to raise taxes 19.9 cents per $100 of assessed valuation to prevent significant cutbacks in school operations.
A school attorney asked election officials to consolidate the town's 13 polling places to save some of the anticipated $20,000 cost of conducting the referendum during a year when no other elections take place.
However, Kevin Smith, an elections board member, said changing polling places for only one year could confuse voters.
Locations include: Eads Elementary School, Munster High School, Munster Fire Station #2, Munster Town Hall, Wilbur Wright Middle School, Carmelite Hall, Elliot Elementary School, Frank Hammond Elementary School, Munster Community Social Center, Westminster Presbyterian Church, Fairmeadow Church of the Nazarene, Centennial Park and the Munster branch of the Lake County Public Library.
The elections board also agreed to open early in-person voting April 22 at the elections board's office in the Lake County Government Center in Crown Point and the Munster Town Hall.
Early voting hours will take place 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturdays. Early voting ends noon May 6.
