Miami County, IN – The Miami County Election Board will hold an emergency meeting today at the Miami County Courthouse to discuss the possible disqualification of a candidate who is currently on the fall ballot.
According to the Miami County Clerk of Courts and Election Board Member Tawna-Leffel-Sands, the meeting will take place at 3:00 p.m. today in the Assembly Room at the Courthouse. The meeting is open to the public.
The meeting was scheduled when the election board received a complaint that the candidate in question was not eligible to be on the ballot due to a disqualifying circumstance. Leffel-Sands would not comment further on the name of the candidate involved on the reason for the possible disqualification.
While the board is holding a meeting to discuss the situation, they are not empowered to remove a candidate from the actual ballot after a July deadline. That would have to be done by the candidate withdrawing his/her candidacy or by a lawsuit that could be filed and then a judge could order the removal of the candidate from the ballot.
