Your voter information must be current in order for you to vote in Indiana.
Each election year, there are two deadlines to register to vote, one before the primary and another before the general election.
For 2026, the deadline to register in time to vote in the primary is April 6. If you miss that deadline, registration resumes on May 19 and runs through Oct. 5.
Early voting begins on April 7 for the primary and on Oct. 6 for the general election.
Check your status
To check your voter registration status, visit the Secretary of State’s website at indianavoters.in.gov and click on “Check your registration record.” Enter your name, date of birth, and the county you live in. The site will display your status, your polling location, and who is on your specific ballot. It will also show your past voting history.
If you are not registered to vote, you can do so online through the Secretary of State’s website. You can also visit any Bureau of Motor Vehicles office.
What do you need to bring to vote?
Indiana requires a photo ID issued by the state of Indiana or the federal government to vote. Student IDs are no longer accepted at the polls. Acceptable forms of ID include an Indiana driver’s license, a passport, or a military ID.
If you don’t have one, you can apply for a free non-driving photo ID through the BMV.
If you have moved recently and need to update your driver’s license, you can update both your driver’s license and your voter registration at the same time through the BMV.
The Secretary of State’s website also allows you to apply for a mail-in absentee ballot. If you have a disability that impairs your ability to independently mark a ballot, such as blindness or a dexterity disability, you can apply for the traveling voter board through the site as well.
Where can you vote?
Pay attention to your county’s policy on vote centers. Seventy-two of Indiana’s 92 counties are vote center counties, meaning you can vote at any polling location in the county in which you live.
The list includes Marion County and all of the donut counties except Hamilton County. In counties which are not vote center counties, you must vote at your assigned polling location on Election Day.
Early voting is typically done at your county’s election office, with additional satellite locations opening as Election Day approaches. Your voter registration record online will list early voting locations and hours.
