GENERAL VOTING
INFORMATION
FOR PRIMARY VOTING IN
INDIANA
§
Polls are open from 6 am to 6 pm.
§
Voters are required to present a
State of Indiana issued photo
I.D. to cast a ballot at the polls. However, you may cast a
"provisional ballot" and your vote will be counted if you
provide Election Officials your Identification within 10 days following
the Primary Election.
§
Any registered voter without a state of
Indiana
photo I.D. may obtain one, without charge, from any Bureau of Motor
Vehicles office which remains open from 6
am to 6 pm Primary
day.
§
Voters must declare their political
party affiliation - requesting a
Democratic or Republican ballot since the primary in Indiana
is generally a closed "party" contest, wherein each major
political party selects their nominee to represent them in the November
general election.
§
Voters may switch their party preference
however in subsequent primaries. (For example - a voter requesting a
Democrat ballot this year may request a Republican ballot the next
primary or vice versa.)
§
Requesting a party ballot (Democrat or
Republican) voters select from among candidates within their party including
School Board races.
§
Libertarian or Independent candidates are
not chosen in the May primary, but are selected later and appear on the
general election ballot in November along with the Republican and
Democrat nominees.
One Exception
Anyone
wishing to vote only for School Board members
and
not declare a political party may do so by
requesting a non-partisan school board only ballot.
