When can I vote early in Indiana?
Early voting runs Oct 6, 2026 through Invalid Date. Hours and sites are set locally.
Is it too late to register in Indiana?
Registration closed on Oct 5, 2026. Use the official election site to check whether you are still registered and what you can do next.
Do I need ID to vote in Indiana?
You need a government-issued photo ID with an expiration date (Indiana license or ID, passport, military ID). NEW: IDs from Indiana state universities and colleges no longer count. The BMV gives out free state ID cards.
Can college students vote where they go to school in Indiana?
You can register at the address where you live while at school or at your address when you're not in school (your choice), and no one can challenge you just for living in campus housing. Starting this year, Indiana public university and college IDs don't count as voter ID. Bring a license, passport, or free state ID from the BMV. If your registration stays at home, mail voting needs a reason, like being out of your county all day on Election Day.
When is the mail ballot request deadline in Indiana?
Request your mail ballot by Oct 22, 2026. Received by 11:59 PM Oct 22 (a postmark doesn't count).
When does my mail ballot have to arrive in Indiana?
Your ballot must be received by Nov 3, 2026 at 6:00 AM. Must be received by 6 PM local time on Election Day.
Can I track my ballot in Indiana?
Use Indiana's ballot tracker to see when your ballot was sent, received, and accepted.
Can I take a photo of my ballot in Indiana?
Murky. A federal court blocked Indiana's 2015 ballot-selfie ban, but some polling places still restrict phones. Ask before snapping one.
Can I vote with a felony record in Indiana?
You only lose your vote while you're in prison after a conviction. Once you're released, even on parole or probation, you can register and vote again.
