Early voting is underway, giving voters nearly four weeks to cast a ballot before Indiana's general election Nov. 3.

The City-County Building, 200 E. Washington St., is the only early voting location until Oct. 24. Voting takes place in the Marion County Clerk's Office on the first floor, on the west side of the building.

Voters should use the Delaware Street entrance. Four parking spaces on North Delaware Street near that entrance are reserved for voters.

The hours at the City-County Building:

  • Weekdays through Oct. 23: 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
  • Weekends Oct. 24 and 25, and Oct. 31 and Nov. 1: 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.
  • Monday, Nov. 2: closes at noon

Eight more early voting sites open Saturday, Oct. 24, and stay open through Sunday, Nov. 1. All are open 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. each day:

The complete schedule on voting locations and times go to IndyVOTES website.

Identification is required

To cast a regular ballot, you'll need a photo ID that meets four criteria: it shows your photo, shows your name (it doesn't have to be a perfect match), has an expiration date that's either current or expired after the last general election, and was issued by the state of Indiana or the U.S. government.

An Indiana driver's license, a U.S. passport, an Indiana state identification card or a military ID all work. Student IDs are not allowed to vote.

If you show up at the polls without your ID you can cast a provisional ballot, then bring your identification to the Marion County Election Board by noon 10 days after the election to have your vote counted.

Voters can preview their ballot with the sample ballot on the IndyVOTES website. If you qualify to vote by mail, you have until Oct. 22 to request an absentee ballot.
