Indiana Secretary of State Diego Morales on Tuesday announced Dustin Renner of Columbus has been appointed election director for the Secretary of State’s Office.
Renner is the former deputy legislative director with the Association of Indiana Counties and a chief deputy clerk for Bartholomew County. He has worked in the county clerk’s office for nearly six years and also served as a Columbus Township Advisory Board member.
Renner will provide technical assistance to county clerks and the clerks’ association, according to Morales’ office. He will represent the secretary of state’s office on the Statewide Voter Registration (SVRS) core team and is responsible for working with Ball State University’s Voting System Technical Oversight Program (VSTOP) to help facilitate compliance with post-election audits and election equipment. He will assist with election related legislation.
“I’m excited to have Dustin as part of our team in this election director role. His proven experience and prior developed relationships with county clerks make him an exceptional choice for this position,” Morales said.
Renner embraced his new position immediately with his involvement in the County Clerk Working Groups and attending the Association of Indiana Counties Annual Conference, according to Morales’ office. With less than two months until the municipal elections, Morales said Renner’s knowledge will be a major asset in Election Day preparedness and implementation.
“I am very grateful for the opportunity to join the administration of Secretary of State Diego Morales. I am appreciative of his demonstrated commitment to support and engage with county clerks,” Renner said. “I am excited to continue working with county clerks and represent the secretary of state’s office in my new role.”
