STATEHOUSE (Oct. 3, 2023) – Vigo 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. Alan Morrison (R-Brazil) 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 a list of who is on their ballot.

"IndianaVoters.com is a one-stop-shop for everything you need to know about participating in elections," said Morrison, a member of the House Elections and Apportionment Committee. "You can register or update your voter registration in just a few steps."

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. Bruce Borders (R-Jasonville) 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.

"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."

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.
