Voting in Indiana
The reason for all of this...
This is an "off" political year, so there won't be any regular elections in Indiana this year (but there could be special called elections...). However, people are already planning on running for office in 2014, so stay tuned!
Unsure if you are currently a registered voter in Indiana? Visit www.indianavoters.com or call the Hoosier Voter Hotline at (866)IN-1- VOTE to confirm your status.
Voter surpression? We encourage voting, but the Republicans in the state of Indiana have made voting difficult. Remember that you MUST take your picture ID that is GOVERNMENT issued with you into the polling place to vote, even if you are sure they'll know you.For example, you can use a driver's license or passport as your government issued ID because they have an expiration date and a photo.
AND- the R's have added other rules about how you get the government issued ID to make voting even more difficult. CHECK OUT THE DETAILS FIRST, so you don't get turned away at the polls!
