Where do I vote?
On Tuesday, April 1, Marion County voters will go to the polls to cast ballots in various school and city elections.
However, sometimes figuring out where to cast your ballot is one of the hardest decisions Marion County residents and some residents in neighboring counties have to make on Election Day.
"Our school districts don't follow true township lines," explained Marion County Election Officer Carol Maggard. "That makes it difficult sometimes for people to know where to vote."
Attached is a map which shows the Marion County boundaries of the five county school districts. Please note that except for the Burdick area of Morris County, school district boundaries which extend outside Marion County are not on the map. However, they are listed below.
