Voter Registration Deadline is October 9

Tuesday, October 9, 2012, is the last day to register to vote in the General Election to be held on November 6, 2012.

You have the right to vote in Indiana if: you are both a U.S. citizen and a resident of Indiana; and, you will be at least 18 years of age on or before the next General Election; and, you are not currently in prison after being convicted of a crime; and, you have lived in the precinct where you vote for at least 30 days prior to the election; and you are registered to vote.

Eligible Indiana residents with a valid Indiana driver's license or Indiana state-issued identification card can register to vote online through Indiana's Statewide Voter Registration System (SVRS).  Registered voters can also update their voter registration records, find their polling places, and determine "Who's on My Ballot?" for the coming election at SVRS.

If you register to vote by mail, your Indiana Voter Registration Application (with the voter's original signature) must be postmarked or hand delivered to the appropriate county voter registration office no later than 29 days before the next election.  You can also apply in person at the county clerk's office, any BMV license branch or public assistance office.
