Indiana Secretary of State Diego Morales and the National Association of Secretaries of State encourage citizens to celebrate the last few days of national Voter Registration Month by registering to vote or updating their existing registration.

“As Indiana’s Chief Election Officer, one of my priorities will always be encouraging all eligible Hoosiers to register to vote,” Morales said. “It only takes a few minutes, and it can be done online. Every election is an opportunity for people to exercise their right and have a voice in their community. Getting registered to vote is the first step and then we need Hoosiers to show up at the polls on Election Day.”

Voter registration is available at county clerk’s offices or online at IndianaVoters.com The deadline to register to vote is Oct. 10, for the upcoming Municipal Election on Nov. 7.

Requirements to vote in Indiana:

Have a valid Indiana Driver’s License or Indiana State Identification Card or other government issued photo ID

Be a citizen of the United States

Be at least 18 years old on or before the next general, municipal, special election. (A 17-year-old may register and vote in the primary election if the voter turns 18 on or before the next general or municipal election.)

Have lived in your precinct for at least 30 days before the next general, municipal, or special election

Not currently imprisoned after being convicted of a crime

NASS members established September as National Voter Registration Month in 2022 as a non-partisan means of encouraging voter participation and increasing awareness about state requirements and deadlines for voting. During the month, Sept. 19 will be highlighted as National Voter Registration Day.
