There are many voter registration sites on the internet, but please be aware the State of Indiana does not recognize on-line registration. So, what’s the easiest way to register to vote? If you click here, or on the banner at the top of the page it will take you to a .pdf file containing an official voter registration form. Print the form, complete it, sign it and either mail it or hand deliver to your local voter registration or election board office. A listing of offices for each county in the state of Indiana is on page 2 of the registration form.

SIX STEPS TO MAKE SURE YOUR VOTE IS
COUNTED!

Contact your local election office to make sure you are still listed on their polling records. If not, register immediately!
Polling places change periodically – find out if yours has changed.
If you do not receive a registration card back within three weeks of registering, call the election office to see if there is a problem. If there is, follow instructions to correct the problem or reregister.
It is particularly important to check your registration or reregister if you have moved, changed your name or have not voted in recent elections.
If you think you may not be able to make it to the polls on November 2nd, find out about absentee balloting from your local election office.
Check with your local election office about any new voting procedures or ID requirements. Make sure you know how to use the voting machine at your polling location. Some election offices have demonstration machines on site and will assist you in learning how to use the equipment.
