§ Ind. Code § 3-11-1.5-12.1Precinct establishment orders; submission of maps and documentation; electronic submission; review, hearings, and approval; objections; notice

(a) A county election board may submit a proposed precinct establishment
order to the election division using a module of the computerized list established under
IC 3-7-26.3 in compliance with sections 15, 15.5, and 16 of this chapter as an alternative to
the other procedures set forth in sections 14 through 35 of this chapter.
(b) A proposed order under this section must comply with any deadline for submission
set by the co-directors under section 14 of this chapter.
(c) The county must submit a map of each proposed precinct and documentation in an
electronic format prescribed by the election division, including any digital aerial photograph
necessary to depict a split census block, municipal boundary, state legislative district,
municipal legislative district, or visible feature. The county must submit the map and the
information set forth in sections 15, 15.5, and 16 of this chapter.
(d) The election division shall transmit a copy of the proposed order to the office for
technical comments. The election division shall review the comments of the office to
determine if the order would comply with this chapter.
(e) The election division shall notify the county of any changes needed for the proposed
order to comply with this chapter. The county may submit a revision to the proposed order
using the module in the computerized list for further review by the election division and the
office or request an exemption from the commission under section 20.5 of this chapter.
(f) The election division may use the module under this chapter to notify the county if the
proposed order complies with this chapter. The election division shall also notify the county
executive in writing as provided in section 18 of this chapter. The county executive may issue
the proposed order and shall file a copy of the proposed order with the election division. The
county executive shall give notice of the proposed order under section 18 of this chapter.
However, if the election division determines under section 18(g) of this chapter that there is
not sufficient time to receive notice of an objection before the next period specified under
section 25 of this chapter begins, the election division may request a hearing before the
commission. If no objection to the proposed order is filed under section 18 of this chapter,
then the order takes effect under section 24 of this chapter without further action by the
county executive.
(g) If an objection is filed under section 18 of this chapter, the county executive may not
adopt the order unless the commission approves the proposed order under section 18 of this
chapter.
(h) The election division shall provide the office with a copy of each final order not later
than ten (10) days after the order takes effect.
