STATEHOUSE (Oct. 5, 2023) – Elkhart County legislators encourage Hoosier voters to register or check their voting status by the Oct. 10 deadline.
"Every vote counts," said State Rep. David Abbott (R-Rome City). "It's important that Hoosier voters have the information they need to participate in elections and have their voices heard."
State Rep. Joanna King (R-Middlebury) said Hoosiers can visit IndianaVoters.com and quickly access a link to register to vote or check their voter registration record. The state's website also provides voters with local polling locations and who's on their ballot.
"IndianaVoters.com is your go-to destination to learn more about all things related to voting," King said. "In a few steps you can verify your voter status or register to vote. I also encourage voters to check out all of their options to vote early or on Nov. 7."
Hoosiers can also register to vote by visiting a county clerk's office and a directory is available online at in.gov/courts.
State Rep. Doug Miller (R-Elkhart) said to register, Indiana residents must be at least 18 years old on or before the upcoming election, have a valid Indiana Driver's License or Indiana State Identification Card, be a citizen of the United States, have lived in the same precinct for at least 30 days before the next election, and not currently imprisoned after being convicted of a crime.
"Voting is essential in determining who represents us on all levels of government," Miller said. "The upcoming municipal elections impact our local communities, so it's important for Hoosiers to exercise their right to vote."
"I hope everyone takes a few minutes to make sure they're registered to vote, so they can make a plan to cast their ballot on or before Election Day," said State Rep. Tim Wesco (R-Osceola), chair of the House Elections and Apportionment Committee. "Hoosiers should have peace of mind that Indiana's election process is secure."
The voter registration deadline is Oct. 10. Early in-person voting starts Oct. 11. Election Day is Tuesday, Nov. 7, and polls will be open from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.
