The Dubois County Clerk has been appointed to commission to oversee an election recount.

Last month, candidate Tim Salters, who lost to incumbent Ed Gornall in the Vincennes City Council District 2 race by 4 votes filed for a recount.

Before that can happen a three member commission must be selected by the Knox Superior Court 2 Judge.

That commission must be made up of one registered Republican and one Registered Democrat and someone familiar with the election process and voting machines.

At a Thursday hearing on the matter, all parties agreed that Dubois County Clerk Amy Kippenbrock will serve as that 3rd member.

The candidates submitted their choices for the other commission members and the judge took them under advisement and will make a decision soon.

Knox County Clerk David Shelton says he expects the recount to take place the week of December 18th.
