The Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles will be extending their hours early next week to allow residents a chance to receive identification that can be used at the polling place.
According to Commissioner Kent Abernathy, BMV license branch hours will be extended on Monday, November 7th and Tuesday, November 8th. Those branches will process new, amended, or replacement ID cards and driver’s licenses.
The Bureau of Motor Vehicles provides free, state-issued ID cards for use before casting a ballot to any unlicensed Hoosier. That is assuming they are a U.S. citizen and can provide proper documentation. In addition, those receiving an ID card must be at least 18 years of age before the next General or Municipal Election.
On November 7th, BMV license branches will be open from 8:30 a.m. and will close later than usual at 8:00 p.m. local time.
On Election Day will see hours extended from 6:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m. to ensure anyone who wants to cast a ballot can retrieve a proper identification before doing so.
