Voter information
How the primary works
A primary election is an election in which registered voters select a candidate that they believe should be a political party's candidate for elected office to run in the general election. They are also used to choose convention delegates and party leaders. Primaries are state-level and local-level elections that take place prior to a general election. Indiana utilizes an open primary system. Voters are not required to register with a party, but state statutes stipulate that citizens vote in the primary of the party they have voted for most often in the past.[14]
For information about which offices are nominated via primary election, see this article.
Poll times
In Indiana, polls are open from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. local time on the date of an election. An individual who is in line at the time polls close must be allowed to vote.[15]
Registration requirements
- Check your voter registration status here.
To register to vote in Indiana, an individual must be a U.S. citizen who has resided in the precinct in which the individual will be voting for at least 30 days preceding the next election. The individual must be at least 18 years old by the time of the next general or municipal election. Proof of residence is required to register.[16] Registration can be completed online, by mail, or in person.[17] The deadline to register to vote is 29 days before the next election.[18]
Prospective voters can register in person at the following locations:
| “ |
|
” |
Automatic registration
Indiana does not practice automatic voter registration.
Online registration
- See also: Online voter registration
Indiana has implemented an online voter registration system. Residents can register to vote by visiting this website.
Same-day registration
Indiana does not allow same-day voter registration.
Residency requirements
Indiana law requires 30 days of residency in a precinct before a person may vote.[16]
Verification of citizenship
Indiana does not require proof of citizenship for voter registration. An individual applying to register to vote must attest that they are a U.S. citizen under penalty of perjury.
Indiana does require voters whose citizenship status cannot be confirmed to submit proof of citizenship under Ind. Code § 3-7-33-4.7 and § 3-7-38.2-7.3.[20][21]
| “ | "(b) The NVRA official shall compare the statewide voter registration system with the bureau of motor vehicles list of temporary credentials issued under IC 9-24-11-5(c) or IC 9-24-16-3(f). If evidence exists that a registered voter is not a citizen of the United States, the NVRA official shall notify the county voter registration office of the county in which the individual is registered to vote that the registered voter may not be a citizen of the United States.
(c) After receiving a notice under subsection (b), the county voter registration office shall send a notice to the registered voter inquiring whether the individual is eligible to be registered to vote. An individual who receives a notice under this subsection shall, within thirty (30) days of receiving the notice, provide proof of citizenship to the county voter registration office in person or by mail. (d) If the individual does not provide proof of citizenship within thirty (30) days of receipt of the notice under subsection (c), the county voter registration office that issued the notice shall cancel the individual's registration."[20][19] |
” |
All 49 states with voter registration systems require applicants to declare that they are U.S. citizens in order to register to vote in state and federal elections, under penalty of perjury or other punishment.[22] Seven states — Alabama, Arizona, Georgia, Kansas, Louisiana, New Hampshire, and Wyoming — have laws requiring verification of citizenship at the time of voter registration, whether in effect or not. In three states — California, Maryland, and Vermont — at least one local jurisdiction allows noncitizens to vote in some local elections. Noncitizens registering to vote in those elections must complete a voter registration application provided by the local jurisdiction and are not eligible to register as state or federal voters.
Verifying your registration
The Indiana Secretary of State website allows residents to check their voter registration status online.
Voter ID requirements
Indiana requires voters to present photo identification at the polls. The following criteria for accepted photo ID was current as of April 2025.[23][24]
Under Indiana Code 3-5-2-40.5, a voter's photo ID must meet the following four criteria:[23]
- Must show the name of the voter, conforming to the voter's registration record.
- Must include a photograph of the voter.
- Must include an expiration date later than the date of the last general election.[25]
- Must be issued by the state of Indiana or the U.S. government.
A voter can obtain a free Indiana identification card from the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles.[26]
As of July 1, 2025, an ID issued by an education institution may not be used as voter identification.[24]
Voters who are "indigent, those with a religious objection to being photographed, and those living in state-licensed facilities that serve as their precinct's polling place" can claim an exemption from the voter identification law. If the voter is claiming an exemption based on indigence or a religious objection, the voter can cast a provisional ballot on Election Day and visit the county election office within 10 days to claim the exemption. A voter who is a resident of a state-licensed facility can claim the exemption at the polls on Election Day.[23]
Early voting
Indiana permits early voting. Learn more by visiting this website. Indiana refers to early voting as voting absentee-in-person.[27]
Early voting permits citizens to cast ballots in person at a polling place prior to an election. In states that permit no-excuse early voting, a voter does not have to provide an excuse for being unable to vote on Election Day. States that allow voters to cast no-excuse absentee/mail-in ballots in person are counted as no-excuse early voting states.
Forty-seven states and the District of Columbia permit no-excuse early voting.
Absentee voting
An individual is eligible to vote absentee by mail in an election if he or she cannot make it to the polls on the day of an election for one of the following reasons:[27]

If an incumbent runs as a write-in candidate, Ballotpedia does not consider them to be retiring. If an incumbent runs in the same chamber for a different seat, Ballotpedia does not consider them to be retiring.

- ↑ Under federal law, the national mail voter registration application (a version of which is in use in all states with voter registration systems) requires applicants to indicate that they are U.S. citizens in order to complete an application to vote in state or federal elections, but does not require voters to provide documentary proof of citizenship. According to the U.S. Department of Justice, the application "may require only the minimum amount of information necessary to prevent duplicate voter registrations and permit State officials both to determine the eligibility of the applicant to vote and to administer the voting process."
