Lake County is ready to certify the results of the May 6 primary election Monday after officials reviewed absentee, provisional and emergency ballots to determine whether to add them to the count.
Poll worker Desire Jones, on left, sets up a voting machine for Cedar Lake resident Tim Brown during the first day of early voting at the Lake County Government Center in Crown Point on Wednesday, October 11, 2023.
As part of the process, affidavits were sent out to the impacted absentee voters, asking for confirmation they did in fact cast their ballot.LeAnn Angerman, the Republican deputy director of Elections, said as elections and the way voting is conducted evolves, so do the number of potential ballots officials may need to review.
There were 19 absentee ballots that had mismatched signatures. Eight voters failed to return the affidavit. Votes cast by the 11 who did return an affidavit were counted. Ten provisional ballots were cast on Election Day. The board voted to count four of those where the voter cast a ballot in the wrong precinct because they were individuals who had moved and were still eligible to vote one last time in their old precinct before having to change their registration, she said.
