Attorney General Curtis Hill’s motion to withdraw a settlement agreement to create early voting centers was met with criticism from Secretary of State Connie Lawson, who called Hill’s filing "reckless."

The creation of new early voting sites requires a unanimous vote from the Election Board. In his motion Attorney General Hill says that vote never happened.

The Marion County Election Board has approved six additional early voting sites for this year's General Election.

Common Cause Indiana and two branches of the NAACP filed a federal lawsuit against the board last summer.

Voters had until noon Monday to cast an early vote in the May primary.

A federal judge ruled Marion County must provide at least two new early voting satellite sites before the November election.

Absentee voting began Tuesday for the May 8 primary that will determine which candidates' names appear on Indiana's ballot for the Nov. 6 general election.

Over the weekend members of the NAACP are also scheduled to discuss topics like education policy, police investigations and the East Chicago lead crisis.

Common Cause Indiana says the lack of early voting access has become a constitutional issue, and that it violates the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

Voters hoping to cast their ballots on the final day of early voting Monday faced massive lines and hours-long waits.
