It's less than two months until the November election, and boards of elections are preparing across the nation. The Allen County Board of Elections is taking care of business in their regular meetings. They are preparing ballot language and how it will be laid out, along with assigning all of their poll workers.

The Allen County Board of Elections has approved petitions for people running for office on this year's November ballot. Sixty-six positions will be up for a vote this November. Some of those have people running unopposed but several positions are without any candidates running, including Delphos City Council President and Mayor of Lafayette. Most of the open positions are empty because nobody filed for them, but two petitions were rejected, something that Board of Elections director Kathy Meyer says typically happens when there are issues with the signatures.
