voter registration

State officials say a federal agency review found 21 noncitizens have cast ballots in Indiana elections, along with 165 noncitizens who registered to vote in the state.

Some Hoosiers will be forced to prove their citizenship in order to keep their voter registration from being deleted under a new state law.

The agency hopes to “maximize use of resources” by focusing on “in-house” services.

Indiana, like many states, allows minors under the age of 18 to pre-register to vote, so when they’re of-age they can cast their ballot. But Indiana’s rules only approve pre-registration after the most recent election is over.

Here’s what Hoosiers need to know ahead of the Oct. 7 voter registration deadline.

People in Indiana who want to vote in this fall’s election have about a month left to register or update their registration — the 2024 general election deadline is Monday, Oct. 7.

Indiana vote-by-mail applicants must fit one of 11 criteria to receive a mail-in ballot, such as being 65 or older or being confined to their home.

You can register to vote online, by mail or in person. The deadline in order to be eligible to cast a ballot in Indiana's 2024 primary election is April 8.

Indiana lawmakers passed legislation Thursday that expands the power of the state to verify voters' addresses and adds an additional residency requirement for first-time voters.

Hoosiers who want to vote in the upcoming municipal elections in November have until Tuesday to register.
