90% of Hoosiers are registered to vote, are you?

More than 90% of eligible Hoosiers are registered to vote ahead of Voter Registration Day, according to the Indiana Secretary of State’s office.

That number continues to grow ahead of the Nov. 5 General Election. Record voter registration and voter turnout numbers are anticipated for November, he said. More than 4.7 million Hoosiers are registered to vote as of today, Morales said. Hoosiers can check or update their voter registration status or register to vote on the spot by visiting IndianaVoters.com.

With the General Election approaching, the Secretary of State’s Office is working to encourage every eligible Hoosier to register to vote. Office staff will be registering eligible Hoosiers at multiple locations across the state.

“As Chief Election Officer, I work tirelessly every day to encourage every eligible Hoosier to register to vote. With [Tuesday] being National Voter Registration Day, I want to remind Hoosiers to check and make sure they are registered. It’s especially exciting to see our younger generation getting involved in the election process. We are less than 50 days away from the General Election and now is the time to make sure you are registered,” Morales said in a news release.

The deadline to register to vote is Oct. 7.
