Voting in Indiana – What You Need to Know about Election Day

If you are registered to vote in the 2020 general election in Indiana, you know that you must meet certain requirements in order to be eligible to vote. You must be over eighteen years of age, a resident of the voting precinct for at least 30 days, and a United States citizen. However, you are unable to vote if you are incarcerated and convicted of a crime.

Indiana is one of sixteen states which allows post-sentence voting in which people who have served their sentence and are out on parole, probation, or house detention can vote. It is important that Hoosiers who have a criminal record know they are eligible to vote given they satisfy the other voter registration requirements.

Tomorrow, the polls will open at 6:00 a.m. and close at 6:00 p.m. You will need a government-issued ID to cast your vote. To check your voter registration, find your polling location, or for other information regarding election day, visit https://indianavoters.in.gov/.
