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

"Voting is an essential component of democracy, and every eligible Hoosier should take the time to cast a ballot," said State Rep. Bob Heaton (R-Terre Haute). "Don't wait until the deadline to ensure you're registered or your registration status is up to date."

State Rep. Dave Hall (R-Norman) 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.

"Our state's election website makes it simple for Hoosiers to register to vote or ensure their registration is accurate," Hall said. "It also has all the information you need to know on where to vote, the candidates on your ballot and even what Indiana is doing to maintain election security."

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. Peggy Mayfield (R-Martinsville) 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 prides itself on making voting in our elections accessible and secure," Mayfield said. "Whether you plan to cast a ballot on or before Election Day, I encourage voters to check their registration status before the Oct. 10 deadline."

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.
