You can check your registration status online here. If you are not registered to vote, you can register online at the same website or by mail or in person.

To register to vote by mail, complete and return the voter registration form by Oct. 11. The completed form can be mailed to your county’s voter registration office or the Indiana Election Division, 302 W. Washington St., Room E204. Marion County’s voter registration office is located at the City County Council building, 200 E. Washington St.

You can also apply in person at your local county clerk’s office or at any BMV license branch when conducting a “credential transaction” such as obtaining or renewing a driver’s license, permit or identification card. You can also apply in person at a public assistance office if you are applying for a service or assistance.

Once your application is received, your county voter registration office will process it and determine eligibility. Eligible voters will receive a voter registration acknowledgment card and are now ready for the polls.

If you do not receive a voter registration card or notice within 30 days, you can call the Marion County Board of Voters Registration at 317-327-5042.
