Ind. voter registration deadline, primary election approaches

Indiana voters must register, update or transfer their registration by the April 9 deadline.
Voters who have moved or changed their names since the last election must also update their registrations before the deadline.

“It is my hope to encourage all eligible Indiana voters to participate in this year’s elections,” Secretary of State Connie Lawson said in a press release. “The initial measure in fulfilling this civic duty is to ensure proper registration, either as a new voter or with an appropriate updated voter registration.”

Anyone not yet registered to vote may register in-person at his or her county voter registration officer, or at any Bureau of Motor Vehicles license branch or county clerk’s office. Voters can also mail their registration form, which can be found at indianavoters.com. The mailed form must be postmarked by April 9.

Residents with a valid driver’s license may register online at indianavoters.com.
