§ 3-6-5-15 — Political subdivisions with territory in more than one county; duties of county election boards

(a) Except as provided in subsection (b), this
section applies when an election is conducted in a political subdivision
(as defined in IC 36-1-2-13 and other than a county) that contains
territory in more than one (1) county.
(b) This section does not apply to an election:
(1) conducted at the same time as a primary or general election
during an even-numbered year; or
(2) conducted in a town by a town election board under IC 3-10-7.
(c) To the extent authorized by this section, the county election
board of the county that contains the greatest percentage of population
of the political subdivision shall conduct all elections for the political
subdivision. The county election board may designate polling places
for the election, which may be located in any county in which the
political subdivision is located, and shall appoint precinct election
officers to conduct the election upon nomination by the county
chairman of the county where the precinct is located, or by filling a
vacancy if a nomination is not timely made. However, each county
election board shall provide poll lists for voters, receive and approve
absentee ballot applications, issue certificates of error or other
documents for the voters of that county, print ballots for the municipal
or special election, and conduct activity required to canvass the votes
under IC 3-12-5-2(b).
