Time is Running out to Register to Vote in the Primary Election

Posted on April 5, 2018
Author Jacque Ryan, WKVI

Those hoping to have a say in the May primary election must register by Monday, April 9th!

The Indiana Secretary of State’s Office issued a reminder stating that in order to be eligible to vote, you must be a citizen of the United States who is at least 18-years-old on the day of the next general, municipal or special election.

Voters must also live in their precinct for at least 30 days before the next general, municipal or special election, with the exception of certain military voters.

Another stipulation states that to be eligible, individuals cannot currently be imprisoned after being convicted of a crime.

There are a few different options available when it comes to registering. To register to vote in-person, visit your local county clerk’s office or any Bureau of Motor Vehicles license branch.

Citizens can also register to vote online by visiting IndianaVoters.com, texting the word ‘Indiana’ to the number 2Vote (28683) or by using the Indiana Voters app.

The app is a valuable resource as it also allows Hoosiers to confirm their voter registration, look up polling places, get directions to the polling location, find out who is on the ballot, track an absentee ballot application and contact local election officials.

The primary election will be held on May 8th. If you have any questions, contact the Hoosier Voter Hotline at 866-IN-1-VOTE.

Local Election Officials Urge Voters to Make Sure They’re Registered, Ahead of May Primary

Posted on February 1, 2018
Author Michael Gallenberger, WKVI

Those planning to vote in the May primary must register to vote, if they haven’t already. If you’re not sure if you’re registered, check before registering again. That’s the advice of Pulaski County Election Board Chair Jon Frain.

He says the state has been having issues with people registering twice. Frain jokes that while he likes the enthusiasm, it leads to confusion with duplicate registrations. On the other hand, if you and a family member have the same name, Frain recommends that you check to make sure you’re each registered separately.

You can check your voting status online at IndianaVoters.com, or by contacting your local county clerk’s office. The Pulaski County Clerk’s Office can be reached at 574-946-3313. Those planning to vote in the primary have until April 9 to make sure they’re registered.

Secretary of State’s Office Reports Potential Voter Registration Fraud

Posted on October 19, 2016
Author Mary Perren, WKVI

Indiana voters whose registration may have been compromised can still cast ballots in the upcoming General Election. Secretary of State Connie Lawson discovered “thousands of dates of birth and first names” were changed after running a report in the Statewide Voter Registration System. She did so after her office received calls from an unspecified number of voters who learned the date of birth or first name on their voter registration is incorrect.

Lawson adds records were changed on paper forms, at the BMV and online.

“At this time, my office is not sure why these records were changed, but we have evaluated the Statewide Voter Registration System and have found no indication it has been compromised,” Lawson said.

She believes it may be a case of voter fraud and says findings have been turned over to the Indiana State Police. They are investigating voter fraud allegations in at least 56 counties.

Voters who cannot locate their information on the website Indianavoters.com are led to believe they are not registered. They are required to enter their name, county of residence and date of birth to access their registration records online. Lawson says voters who have contacted her office did vote in the Primary Election.

She adds voters who cast ballots in the Primary Election and can no longer find themselves on the website are encouraged to contact their local county election officials. Lawson says county election offices may be able to find a voter’s record if there is an issue with a voter’s date of birth or first name. Since the voter registration deadline has passed, only the county election offices may be able to assist voters to correct information under limited circumstances.

Additionally, voters who discover their date of birth or first name is incorrect on their registration will still be able to vote in the Nov. 8 General Election. Voters who try entering different dates of birth may discover their record. They would then be able to correct their date of birth for their voting record on Indianavoters.com. The correction will not take place until 30 days after the election, but the voter will be able to vote on Nov. 8 or participate in early voting.

Lawson encourages all voters to cast ballots early to ensure they will not encounter any issues at the polls.

Voters with questions can call the Hoosier Voter Hotline at 1-866-IN-1-VOTE.
