Program allows voters to see where & when polls are open
As of today, Oct. 23, early voting has expanded to seven additional locations in Carmel, Fishers, and Westfield. Early voting is already taking place in Noblesville at the Judicial Center and 4-H Fairgrounds.

“The beautiful thing about early voting is you can vote anywhere and whenever is most convenient for you,” County Elections Administrator Beth Sheller said. “Say you live in Noblesville but find yourself shopping in Carmel. You can stop in and vote at the Carmel Library. Or if you live in Fishers, but your kids are playing soccer at Grand Park. Drop by Westfield Town Hall.”
The Election Office recently teamed up with the Hamilton County GIS team to make finding those locations a bit easier. A new interactive map allows voters to find the early voting locations nearest to them, offering the dates and operating hours of each.

“Working together across departments to create this tool has been incredibly rewarding,” County Director of Information Technology Chris Mertens said. “Our goal is to make voting easier and more accessible for all residents. It’s exciting to see technology being used in a way that benefits our community.”
Early voting is available at nine locations throughout the county, with two locations each in Noblesville, Fishers, and Westfield, and three in Carmel. To access the interactive map, voters can visit geohub.hamiltoncounty.in.gov.
