INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Are you registered to vote? The deadline to get your name on the voter rolls ahead of the November election is less than a month away.

The deadline to register to vote in the Nov. 5 general election is Monday, Oct. 7.

Indiana Secretary of State Diego Morales said Tuesday that more than 4.7 million Hoosiers — or just over 90% of eligible voters — are already registered to vote. His office expects the number of registered voters to continue to grow over the next few weeks.

Eligibility requirements

To be eligible to vote, you must:

  • Be a citizens of the United States.
  • Be at least 18 years old on or before Election Day.
  • Have a valid Indiana driver’s license or Indiana state ID card.
  • Have lived in your precinct for at least 30 days before the election.
  • Not be imprisoned after being convicted of a crime.

Where to register

You can register to vote by visiting indianavoters.in.gov, going to the county clerk’s office, or applying in person at any BMV license branch.

Check your voter status

If you’re already registered to vote, it’s a good idea to check your voter registration status.

To make sure you’re signed up to vote, visit indianavoters.in.gov, find the box labeled “Check Voting Status,” and click on the button titled “Check Your Registration Record.”

You will be prompted to enter your first and last name and date of birth and choose the county of your current registration from a drop-down menu.
