Grand jury review of May election finds no issues

Date:

The Whitley County Grand Jury has found no legal issues concerning the recent primary election in Whitley County.

Pursuant to applicable law, the grand jury reviewed the reports of the various precinct officers, the election commission and the county court clerk regarding the election, which was conducted on May 17, 2022.

“After reviewing all the reports and information furnished to the grand jury, the grand jury found no information which would warrant further investigation nor evidence of wrongdoing or abuse of the election process during the last election,” according to the Whitley County Grand Jury’s report.

“The grand jury concludes that to the extent of the information provided to the grand jury, it appears that the election was conducted in a lawful and legal manner with no further inquiry being required.”

State law requires the grand jury to issue such a report after each regularly scheduled election.
