You only need to fill out a simple form that asks for name, address, birth date and a voter identification number. You will also be required to check boxes on the form to indicate that you are a U.S. citizen, and will be 18 years of age on or before election day. The voter registration form requests some optional information, such as your telephone number and e-mail address. The form also asks you to list any previous name or address you have used on a former voter registration so that these records can be updated. You must then sign the form.

The voter identification number is your Indiana driver’s license number If you do not have an Indiana driver’s license, then you must provide the last four digits of your social security number. If you do not have an Indiana driver’s license or a social security card, you will be assigned an ID number when your application is processed.

No, unless you are registering to vote for the first time in Indiana by returning a registration form through the mail. If you register using the mail, you can include a photocopy of a current valid photo ID, a current utility bill, bank statement, government check, paycheck, or other document. Whatever document you present must have your name and address printed on the ID. Certain voters, such as military voters, are exempt from this requirement.

Someone can help you fill out the form. If you cannot sign your name, you must make an identifying mark on the signature line. If someone fills out the form for you, that person must write their name and address in the lower right corner of the form.

You can apply to be registered to vote at any time. However, to vote in a primary or general election, you must be registered at least 29 days before that election. A mail-in voter registration application must be postmarked at least 29 days before that election. Some military voters and their family members can register until noon on election day. Contact your county voter registration office for information.

Once your voter registration application is received, your county voter registration office will process the application and determine your eligibility. If you are eligible, the county office will send you a voter registration acknowledgment card. Once you receive that card, you will be officially registered. If you are not eligible, or if the application was incomplete, you will receive a notice denying the application or requesting the missing information. If you have not received a voter registration card or a notice from your county within about 30 days, call your county voter registration office.

You must file a new registration application. Check address change and fill out all the information, including your previous address. You can use a mail-in form or do this in person at any county voter registration office. It is important that you do this so that we can cancel your old registration.

You can call your county voter registration office to find out if you are currently registered to vote at that address. A phone number for each county office is listed on the back of the brochure. You can check your registration at http://www.indianavoters.com/.

If you have a non-traditional residence, you still have the right to register and vote. Simply draw a map on the voter registration application indicating where you live (where you usually spend the night) and list a mailing address within your county that can be used to mail your notification that you are registered.
