Those who want to vote in the May 8 primary but won’t be able to make it to the polls on Election Day have a few options. The Starke County Clerk’s Office is now accepting applications for mail-in ballots. They’ll be sent out to qualified voters starting the week of March 24, according to county election officials.

Voters in Starke County can request to vote absentee-by-mail by calling 574-772-9160.

The Pulaski County Clerk’s Office can be reached at 574-946-3313.

The option to vote absentee-by-mail is available to those who won’t be able to vote on Election Day due to a variety of reasons, such as work obligations, illness, injury, or religious reasons. Voters who are at least 65 years of age and those who have a disability are also eligible to vote by mail. Complete eligibility guidelines can be found on the Indiana Secretary of State’s Office website.

Additionally, any voter registered in Indiana may vote in-person at their local early voting site, starting April 10. Click here for more information on early voting in Starke County, or click here for information on early voting in Pulaski County.
