| Source: Warrick County, Indiana, "Election Summary Report: 2010 Primary Election," accessed October 10, 2014 Note: A maximum of two candidates can come from each township within the district. In the 2010 election, four candidates ran from Boon Township. Because of this, only the top two vote-getters from that township could win a seat on the Warrick County Board of Education. This is why incumbent Candace S. Nance was able to win re-election over candidates Colleen Talley and R. Tracy Fortune.[3] |
