INDIANAPOLIS -- The Marion County Clerk is warning that the number of absentee ballots could delay their official count on election night.
The Clerk sent a certified letter to every campaign on the ballot, alerting candidates that it's possible not all of the absentee ballots will be able to be counted on November 8, because there's so many of them.
"Please be patient. The central counting of absentee ballots may cause a slight delay in us getting those results to you," said Russell Hollis of the Marion County Clerk's Office. "So we will note on our website which absentee ballots have been counted."
Clerks say the voting lines keep growing on a daily basis as early voting continues.
