Caucus Information for Corydon Town Council District 1 Vacancy

The Harrison County Republican Central Committee will caucus on Saturday, December 14, at 10:00 a.m. at the Harrison County Government Center in Corydon for the purposes of filling the vacancy for District 1 on the Corydon Town Council created by the resignation of Hope Schneider, who has resigned to have more time to care for her aging parents.

Only precinct committee members from the Town of Corydon may vote in this caucus. Precinct vice committee members may vote as proxies for their absent precinct committee member.

Voting will be by private ballot and will continue until one candidate has reached a majority of the precinct committee members and proxies that are present.

Once the caucus has selected who will fill the vacancy, the county chairman will certify the result to the Circuit Court Clerk.

Individuals interested in seeking the vacancy must file a written declaration of candidacy (CEB-5 form) with Harrison County Republican Party Chairman Scott Fluhr no later than 72 hours before the caucus, in this case by Friday, December 12 at 7:00 p.m. Individuals interested in seeking the District 1 Corydon Town Council position can contact him via email address on the right.
