The deadline for residents to register to vote is quickly approaching.
Residents have until April 3 to register to vote in the upcoming general election on May 2. Under Indiana law, legal adults who are U.S. citizens are eligible to vote as long as they meet certain criteria.

- be at least 18 years old on the day of the election;
- not currently be in prison after being convicted of a crime.
Residents can go online to register at indianavoters.in.gov. Johnson County residents can also register in person by visiting the county voter registration office at the Johnson County Courthouse, 5 E. Jefferson St., Franklin, or any license branch.
Those who were already registered are encouraged to check their registrations, at indianavoters.in.gov.
Early voting begins on April 17. The deadline for absentee ballot applications is noon on April 20, and applications can apply online at indianavoters.in.gov or apply in person at Johnson County Voter Registration.
