Register To Vote In Indiana

Darryl Said:

Am I eligible to vote in the Indiana Primary on May 6th?

We Answered:

no you have to be 18 sorry but you will be able to vote in November.

Megan Said:

I'm registered to vote in Indiana, but I permanently live in Alabama. Can I still apply to become a delegate?

We Answered:

You would have to check with the party officials in whichever state you would like to apply in.

I do believe however that there are residency restrictions, I am just not sure as to what they are.

Vicki Said:

Need help with tax question...?

We Answered:

Do you understand that you're asking a bunch of non-professional, layman tax people about something as important as your tax data??? Why don't you just contact the IRS on line or on the telephone as ask them. They will be glad to help you. You get the name and ID of the IRS person that you speak to (they're glad to give it to you), and even ask them for a follow letter, and they will be happy to. Now you have the info you need, and back up documentation you can use if there is any question about you filed tax papers. Done.

Glen Said:

I moved to another city in Indiana, can I still vote?

We Answered:

According to Article 2 Section 2 of the Indiana State Constitution -- Who Knows,

This is what that section says

Section 2. Voting qualifications
Section 2. (a) A citizen of the United States who is at least eighteen (18) years of age and who has been a resident of a precinct thirty (30) days immediately preceding an election may vote in that precinct at the election.

(b) A citizen may not be disenfranchised under subsection (a), if the citizen is entitled to vote in a precinct under subsection (c) or federal law.

(c) The General Assembly may provide that a citizen who ceases to be a resident of a precinct before an election may vote in a precinct where the citizen previously resided if, on the date of the election, the citizen's name appears on the registration rolls for the precinct.

Subsection (c) is rather confusing but it seems that if your name is still on the rolls for the precinct that you formerly lived in, you can still vote there. This is how I understand this to read. The only question I would have is how would you know your name is there unless you go to the voting booth on Nov. 2 and find out.

My guess is that your name will remain in place at your old precinct since it is so close to an election
based on subsection (b).

You may want to look at the information on this page as well

You would have a good argument for a 'provisional ballot' meaning that you could vote but the state would have to look after the fact to make sure it was valid.

Good luck.

Raymond Said:

how do you register to vote? or can i even vote?

We Answered:

Yes, you are correct. If you turn 18 yrs old by the time for the general elections then you can vote in the primary early. You need to register 30 days before primary & remember you can not vote for anything at primary except the presidential canidate only & not any state elections. Good luck & use your vote well!
