The covid-19 pandemic has caused delays for the usps.
If you filed to get an absentee ballot but haven't received it yet, you can vote in person.
All voting locations are maintaining proper social distancing and sanitizing equipment immediately after use.
Roush says she and her team have been working around the clock to make sure every vote counts.
The mail told us 7 to 10 days and we have seen it where its even longer than that.
I am telling everybody if you are just now getting a ballot i would drop it off in the front of our office.
In the front downstairs in the doors we have a ballot box.
The ballot box is open 24/7 at the tippecanoe county building in downtown lafayette.
Votes can be cast between now and june 2nd.
