Election Day 2024 has finally arrived. WNIN’s John Gibson reports:

22 vote centers are open until 6 p.m. in Vanderburgh County. Warrick County is offering 17 vote centers.

More voting information is available online at county election office websites across the state.

The Vanderburgh County Election Office says more than 44,000 people voted early.

That’s about a third of eligible voters in the county.

In-person early balloting wrapped up at Central Library at noon yesterday -- but not before the line of voters stretched out the door, around the parking lot, and into the underground parking garage.

Hoosiers are electing a new governor, members of congress, state legislators, judges, school board members, and many municipal leaders.

Voters in Kentucky are deciding among other things whether the state’s constitution should be amended to allow tax dollars to support students attending private or charter schools.

The first votes to be counted in the Vanderburgh County Election Office will be mailed-in ballots, starting this (Tues) morning. But no vote totals are announced until after the polls close.

The Vanderburgh County GOP will watch election results at Birdies on Martin Luther King Blvd. at Vine St. Local Democrats will watch results at Venue 812, on Boeke Road, south of Morgan Avenue.

Both watch parties start at 6 p.m.
