State Rep. Milo Smith, a Columbus Republican, was recently named vice chair of the Interim Study Committee on Elections. Smith says the committee will examine assigned topics, gather testimonies and recommend potential legislation.

“As vice chair of the elections committee, I will join fellow legislators in looking at how policy changes affected voting in Indiana from 2000 through 2016 in terms of voter participation and election results,” Smith said. “Working on potential legislation in this study committee throughout the summer and fall months gives lawmakers more time to explore specific issues and recommend potential legislation.”

Smith was also assigned to the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Holiday Commission, the Military Base Planning Council and the Distressed Unit Appeal Board.
