STATEHOUSE (Nov. 2, 2023) – As the Nov. 7 election approaches, State Reps. Lorissa Sweet (R-Wabash) and Craig Snow (R-Warsaw) encourage Hoosier voters to submit election-related questions or report issues using the state's new text hotline.

Sweet said by texting 'IN’ to 45995, Hoosiers will receive a secure link to a website where they can ask questions, request information, submit a complaint or report a problem directly to the Indiana Secretary of State’s Office. Election staff will receive and review questions or concerns, and respond directly to voters by phone, email or text.

"The new text hotline is a great resource for Hoosiers who need more information on or before Election Day," Sweet said. "Be sure to go out and make your voices heard at the polls, and use the text hotline for any election questions or issues."

According to Snow, voters can use the hotline for a variety of reasons, including reporting something suspicious at a polling site, receiving information about voting locations and hours, and asking questions about election security through the hotline. The service is free, but individual users' text messaging and data rates may apply.

"Election Day is coming and early voting is taking place, so if you have any questions or concerns, there's a new way to connect with the state's election office," Snow said. "This new, helpful hotline is a good tool to use in addition to the state's voter portal at IndianaVoters.com."

Election Day is Tuesday, Nov. 7, and polls will be open from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Hoosiers can also check their voting status, find early vote and Election Day polling locations, and view a sample ballot at IndianaVoters.com.
