Welcome to FindLaw's Indiana Voter Guide. This page provides election information, particularly about eligibility to vote, voter registration and registration deadlines, mail-in and in-person voting, special accommodations, and what you can do if you see illegal activity at the polls.
Am I eligible to vote in Indiana?
To vote in Indiana elections, you must be:
- A citizen of the United States
- An Indiana resident who has lived in the precinct where you intend to vote for at least 30 days
- At least 18 years of age on Election Day
Indiana residents in prison for the commission of a crime cannot exercise their right to vote. Those either on probation, parole, or who have fully completed their sentence can again exercise their right to vote and cast a ballot.
Where Do I Vote?
The Indiana Secretary of State's office offers an easy way to find polling places in the state. On Election Day, polls are open from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.
