Election Day in South Bend: St. Joseph County's 41 Vote Centers Open Until 6 p.m.
Polls opened at 6 a.m. on November 3 in South Bend, St. Joseph County, Indiana, and voting ran until 6 p.m., with voters already in line still able to cast ballots. The county operated 41 vote centers, and county residents could use any of them regardless of where they live. The morning was calm: the main St. Joseph County Public Library branch saw steady traffic and had recorded more than 160 voters by 7:45 a.m., while the Centre Township library's parking lot was already full before 6:15 a.m. as voters lined up before sunrise. Indiana requires voters to show a photo ID that bears their name and an expiration date and was issued by the state or the U.S. government. The statewide focus on the ballot was the secretary of state race, alongside U.S. House, legislative, county, township and school-board contests, and voters were urged to read the full ballot. Polls across Indiana ran from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.; voters could find their vote center at IndianaVoters.com, and county officials reminded voters that the County-City Building was not open as a polling place on Election Day.
