(a) Except as provided in subsection (b) or (c), if a special election is held at a
time other than the time of a general election, the election shall be held in accordance with
this title. Each county election board and other local public official who is required to
perform any duties in connection with a general election shall perform the same duties for
the special election, subject to the same provisions and penalties as for a general election.
(b) If a special election is held:
(1) under a court order under IC 3-12-8; or
(2) for a local public question;
the county election board may provide that several precincts may vote in the special election
at the same polling place, if the county election board finds by unanimous vote of the entire
membership of the board that the consolidation of polling places will not result in undue
inconvenience to voters.
(c) If a special election is held:
(1) under a court order under IC 3-12-8 for a school board office; or
(2) for a local public question;
the county election board may by unanimous vote of the entire membership of the board
adopt a resolution to provide that each precinct election board will include only one (1)
inspector and one (1) judge, and that only one (1) sheriff and one (1) poll clerk may be
nominated as precinct election officers. If the board has adopted a resolution under
subsection (b), a resolution adopted under this subsection may also provide for more than one
(1) precinct to be served by the same precinct election board. A resolution adopted under this
subsection may not be rescinded by the county election board and expires the day after the
special election is conducted.
(d) The following procedures apply if a county election board adopts a resolution under
subsection (c):
(1) The inspector shall be nominated by the county chairman entitled to nominate an
inspector under IC 3-6-6-8.
(2) The judge shall act as a clerk whenever this title requires that two (2) clerks perform
a duty.
(3) The poll clerk shall act as a judge whenever this title requires that two (2) judges
perform a duty.
(4) If a precinct election board administers more than one (1) precinct, the board shall
keep the ballots cast in each precinct separate from ballots cast in any other precinct,
so that the votes cast for each candidate and on each public question in each of the
precincts administered by the board may be determined.
