Voter Registration Deadline Approaching
INDIANA — 2019 is a municipal election year in Indiana. Are you registered to vote? If you want to have your say in the primary election, you must register in the next few days.
Hoosiers must register by April 8 to be able to vote in the May 7 primary election. Most cities and towns in Indiana will cast votes for mayor, council and city ballot questions.
Citizens can register to vote online by using the Indiana Voters app or by visiting IndianaVoters.com and can submit an application to register in person at their local county clerk’s office.
The Indiana Voters app also allows Hoosiers to confirm their voter registration, look up their polling place, get driving directions to their polling location, find out who’s on their ballot, track their absentee ballot application or provisional ballot information and contact local election officials.
In order to be eligible to register to vote, you must:
- Be a citizen of the United States.
- Be at least 18 years old on the day of the next general, municipal or special election.
- Have lived in your precinct for at least 30 days before the next general, municipal, or special election (except for certain military voters)
- Not currently be imprisoned after being convicted of a crime.
Voter registration will reopen after the May primary. Hoosiers wishing to take part in the Nov. 5 general election must be registered by Oct. 7.
Voters with questions can call the Hoosier Voter Hotline at (866) IN-1-VOTE.
