In the wake of the controversial Supreme Court confirmation hearings, voting in this year’s Nov. 6 general election is now expected to be heavier than in most off-year elections. This may encourage early voting which is now allowed in Indiana.
Early voting starts today at the County Government and Judicial Center in downtown Noblesville. Then, starting on Oct. 24, there will be early voting offered at remote locations in Carmel, Westfield and Fishers.
At the county elections office any registered voter may cast his or her ballot during regular business hours, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Monday through Friday, until Nov. 5 when early voting ends at noon. In addition, early voting will be offered between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. on Saturdays, Oct. 27 and Nov. 3 at the elections office on the main floor of the Judicial Center.
Voting will be offered at the Carmel Public Library, the Westfield City Hall and Fishers City Hall between 2 and 7 p.m. on Oct. 24 and 25 and from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Oct. 26 and 27, except at Fishers where there will be voting on Saturday only.
These locations will all be open again from 2 to 7 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 1, and again from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Nov. 2, except Fishers which will be open for voting only on Saturday, Nov. 3.
