Just over 5,500 are eligible to cast ballots in eight Ripley County precincts, Adams 1 and 3 and Laughery 1, 1-1, 1-2, 2-1, 3-1 and 3-2, announces clerk Ginger Bradford. They will vote at one polling place, the Batesville Knights of Columbus Hall, 624 Delaware Road.
In addition, there are still a few chances for citizens to cast absentee ballots prior to Nov. 3. Persons may vote before the Absentee Voter Board in the Franklin County Courthouse clerk’s office, Brookville, Friday, Oct. 30, from 8:30 a.m.-4 p.m.; and Saturday, Oct. 31, and Monday, Nov. 2, from 8:30 a.m.-noon.
