STATEHOUSE (Oct. 4, 2023) – State Reps. Bruce Borders (R-Jasonville) and Matt Hostettler (R-Patoka) encourage Hoosier voters to register or check their voting status by the Oct. 10 deadline.

"Our communities depend on its citizens participating in civic duties like voting to choose their representation," Borders said. "Every vote counts, and it's important that Hoosiers have a voice in their government."

Hostettler 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.

"I encourage informed citizens to vote, whether they have been doing so for decades or will be casting a ballot for the first time," Hostettler said. "It's always important to exercise your right to vote and participate in your government."

Hoosiers can also register to vote by visiting a county clerk's office and a directory is available online at in.gov/courts.

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.

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.
