STATEHOUSE (Sept. 25, 2023) – Warrick County legislators encourage Hoosier voters to register or check their voting status by the Oct. 10 deadline.

State Rep. Cindy Ledbetter (R-Newburgh) 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.

"Before you make a plan to vote, make sure you're registered," Ledbetter said. "The next election is coming up quickly and you don't want to wait to verify your voting status. The online voter portal makes that process streamlined and you'll find a lot of helpful Election Day information."

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. Tim O'Brien (R-Evansville) 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.

"The best way to engage in the civic process and make our voices and values known is by voting," O'Brien said. "I hope voters will take a few minutes to verify their registration and make a plan to cast their ballots."

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.
