STATEHOUSE (May 5, 2020) — Indiana's registered voters can now submit an online application to receive their mail-in absentee ballot, according to State Reps. Ron Bacon (R-Chandler) and Holli Sullivan (R-Evansville).
Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the state's primary election is postponed to June 2. Bacon said registered voters do not need a reason to vote absentee in the upcoming election, and can request a ballot online or by fax, mail or email.
"This is not a mandate for everyone to vote by mail, but an accommodation due to health concerns," Bacon said. "The health and safety of voters and poll workers will continue to be a top priority as Hoosiers perform their civic duty."
To request a mail-in ballot online, visit IndianaVoters.com and click on the "apply online" button under "Vote by Mail or Traveling Board." Election ballot applications can be requested through May 21, and mail-in ballots must be received by noon on June 2.
"There are several ways to vote in the June primary," Sullivan said. "Regardless of obstacles this pandemic presents, we are making modifications to ensure the security of our elections while also protecting public health."
Sullivan said for voters who have already received a mail-in ballot dated May 5, 2020, it will be considered valid. Voters can still choose to cast their ballot in person, either during early voting May 26 through June 1, or from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. on June 2.
