Today is the general election and the polls are open for voters to cast their ballots for many municipal races.
One of the main races will be for the board of Indiana County Commissioners. All three of the current commissioners, Repbulicans Mike Keith and Robin Gorman and Democrat Sherene Hess are on the ballot along with newcomer, Democrat Aaron Lehman. Also of import this time around are the Indiana Borough Council races, as this will determine who will sit on the newly reformatted board come January. The board will shrink from 12 members down to eight as the borough shifts from four wards to two wards.
Several other municipal races are on the ballot, including township supervisors and other borough council races, along with school board races. There will also be some statewide judicial races, including a race for seats on the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, Commonwealth Court and Superior Court.
One change of note: The Chevy Chase Community Center will not be used as a polling place for White Township Precinct 4-5 this year. The county board of elections decided to move the polling location for this year to the District Court office on North 4th Street.
Polls close at 8:00 tonight. We’ll have coverage of election returns on air and online on our Facebook page.
