Military & Out-of-State Voter Registration

Indiana makes it easy for military, overseas, and out-of-state residents (such as college students) to register to vote.

Late Registration for Military Members

Generally, residents must register no later than 29 days before the election. This means mail-in registrations must be postmarked 29 days before the election (see below).

However, military members and their dependents can register as late as 10 days before the election; some members can even register by 12 p.m. on the day of election. (Call your county voter registration office to find out if you’re eligible.)

Out-of-State IN Residents

If you’re currently out-of-state (for example, to attend college), you can register to vote in Indiana by mail. See “Register to Vote in IN” above to learn how.

IN Voter Registration Deadlines

Unless you’re a member of the military or a military member dependent (see above), you must register to vote no later than 29 days before the Primary or General Election.

If you’re registering by mail, your application must be postmarked 29 days before the election date.

This applies to registered voters applying to change their names, addresses, or precincts, too (see below).
