Citizens demand immediate action on election rights
In a recent communication directed to the Boone County Election Board and various state officials, a concerned citizen has issued a formal demand for immediate redress regarding perceived violations of electoral rights. The notice, which also reached the Indiana House of Representatives, Senate, Attorney General, Secretary of State, and the Supreme Court, emphasizes the inherent rights of individuals to run for office without undue restrictions.

The individual referenced multiple sections of the Indiana Constitution, asserting that all political power resides with the people and that any governmental authority is derived from the Constitution. The notice argues that the rights to free and equal elections are fundamental and cannot be infringed upon by policies or statutes that impose additional qualifications on candidates beyond those explicitly stated in the Constitution.

Key points highlighted in the notice include the assertion that elections belong to the people and that any attempt by political parties or government entities to impose restrictions on candidacy is a form of maladministration. The citizen demands clarity on the constitutional authority that allows for such restrictions, insisting that any failure to uphold these rights constitutes a breach of duty by elected officials.

The communication concludes with a call for immediate action to dismiss any challenges to candidates that violate these principles, warning that failure to respond appropriately will be viewed as intentional disregard for the rights of the electorate. The notice is framed as a peaceful appeal, invoking a sense of duty among public servants to uphold the rights guaranteed by the Constitution.
