To register to vote or update your current registration you will need to complete and return the Voter Registration Form (VRG-7) 29 days prior to a Primary or General Election (on or before April 5, 2010 for the May Primary Election and on or before October 4, 2010 for the November General Election)

Use this form to:

  1. Apply to register to vote in Indiana or
  2. Change your name and address on your voter registration record

Return the completed form to your county’s voter registration office or the Indiana Election Division according to the registration deadline requirements. You can also apply in person at the voter registration or county clerk’s office, any BMV license branch or public assistance office.

Once your voter registration application is received, your county voter registration office will process the application and determine your eligibility. If you are eligible, the county office will send you a voter registration acknowledgment card. Once you receive that card, you will be officially registered. If you are not eligible, or if the application was incomplete, you will receive a notice denying the application or requesting the missing information. If you have not received a voter registration card or a notice from your county within about 30 days, call your county voter registration office. You can check your voter registration and polling location at anytime at http://www.indianavoters.com/ or by calling 1-866-IN-1-VOTE.
