VIGO COUNTY, Ind.  – Vigo County officials are getting ready for the November municipal election and the referendum questions on the ballot.

Part of that includes hosting several mock elections that are open to the public. The first of those mock elections was held Wednesday afternoon at the Vigo County courthouse.

Vigo County has a new voting system that requires each ballot to be initialed before being submitted. That is an added step that officials say will add time to the voting process.
