The U.S. Department of Justice announced it will send election monitors to polling locations in Northwest Indiana ahead of the November 3, 2026 midterm election. Early voting is already under way, with voters such as Ella Kelly casting ballots a week before election day.
The monitoring effort is part of a program that has been operating for five years and will cover the one‑week early‑voting period. Officials said the presence of monitors is intended to oversee the voting process at the participating sites.
