The Hamilton County Election Board met at 10 a.m. on Friday and performed testing of the voting machines for the May 7 primary election. All machines tested fully operational and accurate.
The board discussed background checks for potential people who would work polls and reported to the appropriate appointing party chairman any persons who failed the background check or have not paid Hamilton County property taxes.
Discussion was had concerning several candidates who had not paid fines assessed by the Board at the last meeting for failure to file appropriate financial reports. Those included Cloeva Brown, Carla Cork, Scott Frei, Carmel City Councilmember Dr. Anita Joshi, and Pam Williams. Referral was made to the Hamilton County Attorney for appropriate action.
