Eligible Indiana residents could register to vote on election day

Eligible residents could register at their precinct polls on election day. This covers primary, general, municipal, school district, and special elections. They must live in the precinct, qualify to vote, be unregistered, and have not voted in that election. People who qualify to vote under certain other listed rules cannot use this registration route. They must complete a registration form and provide a REAL ID driver's license or ID card showing their name and home address. If they cannot show it at the polls, they could file a copy with the county voter registration office or their precinct election board by poll closing. These rules would take effect July 1, 2026.

Poll workers would give election-day registrants provisional ballots, and county officials would decide whether to count them. This applies to people who register at the polls under the election-day rules. The county election board must confirm that the voter completed the form, qualifies to vote in that precinct, and had no registration notice returned as undeliverable. The voter must provide proof of residence and any required ID, with an affidavit if that ID route applies. The voter must provide the required proof no later than poll closing on election day.
