STATEHOUSE (Oct. 4, 2023) – Lake County legislators encourage Hoosier voters to register or check their voting status by the Oct. 10 deadline.

"Voting is an important part of our duties as citizens and with the upcoming election, Hoosiers have the opportunity to cast their votes on or before Election Day," said State Rep. Michael Aylesworth (R-Hebron). "The deadline to register to vote is fast approaching and the online voter portal makes it easy to register or check your status."

State Rep. Julie Olthoff (R-Crown Point) 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.

"Indiana's elections are safe and secure, and Hoosiers have many opportunities to cast a ballot whether it's by voting early in person or by mail, or showing up to the polls on Nov. 7," Olthoff said. "I encourage voters to make a plan now, so that they don't miss the opportunity to make their voices heard."

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. Hal Slager (R-Schererville) 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.

"Indiana provides several resources to help voters take the stress out of casting a ballot," Slager said. "Our state's online voter portal includes countless resources so you can find all the information about Election Day in one spot."

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.
