Indiana’s deadline to register to vote in the Nov. 7 elections is Tuesday, Oct. 10.

“Indiana residents can register to vote by visiting their local county clerk’s office or online at IndianaVoters.com,” said Indiana Secretary of State Diego Morales in a news release issued Tuesday. The Secretary of State oversees elections.

To register, people must be U.S. citizens and at least 18 years old on or before Nov. 7. Voters also must have lived in their precinct for at least 30 days before Nov. 7. People imprisoned cannot vote. To register, people must have a valid Indiana driver’s license or state identification card.

For anyone who is already registered, the website can confirm your information.

Early voting, which is handled through county clerk’s offices, will begin the next day. Indiana does not have online voting. The website offers help to vote by mail or a traveling board.

Registered voters can find their polling places on the website.
