(LaPorte County, IN) - LaPorte County officials want more people to vote by mail again in November. The county commissioners are asking the secretary of state to allow mail-in voting for any reason. The secretary of state did so in the primary because of COVID-19 but the decision came weeks before the primary. Commissioner Dr. Vidya Kora says doing so now will allow a lot more time for getting prepared. 

Normally, people have to have a valid reason like being out of town to vote by mail.
