    Do I have to register as a Republican to vote for a Republican in the primary?

    Indiana does not have party registration so you do not have to register with a party in order to participate in that party's primary. https://indianavoters.in.gov/PublicSite/PublicMain.aspx

    what if my address is different than the address on my license?
    Rtv-logo-styled-square_small

    According to Indiana state law, your address on your identification does not need to match your voter registration address. Identification is only used to verify your name, not your address. So as long as it meets the Indiana criteria (and a driver's license does), you'll be fine.

    FYI, here are the criteria (via http://www.in.gov/sos/elections/2401.htm):

    Your photo ID must meet 4 criteria to be acceptable for voting purposes. It Must:

    1. Display your photo

    2. Display your name, and the name must conform to your voter registration record. Conform does not mean identical. Below are examples of names that would conform to "Robert John Crew"

    * Robert John Crew
    * Robert J. Crew
    * Robert Crew
    * R. John Crew
    * R. J. Crew
    * Bob John Crew
    * Bob J. Crew
    * Bob Crew
    * John Crew
    * J. Crew

    3. Display an expiration date and either be current or have expired sometime after the date of the last General Election (November 4, 2008)

    * Including Military IDs with expiration dates of "INDEF"

    4. Be issued by the State of Indiana or the U.S. government

    In most cases, an Indiana driver license, Indiana photo ID card, Military ID or U.S. Passport is sufficient.

    A student ID from an Indiana State school may only be used if it meets all of the 4 criteria specified above. A student ID from a private institution may not be used for voting purposes. For more Information for College Students click here.

    If you are unable or unwilling to present ID meeting these requirements, you may cast a provisional ballot. If you cast a provisional ballot, you have until noon 10 days after the election to follow up with the county election board and either provide the necessary documentation or affirm one of the law’s exemptions applies to you.

    How are you going to make the law worse if abortion is already legal... therefore YOUR logic makes no sense.

    I have changed my name, I just didn't think about my registration until election time rolled around. I wonder if I took my marriage license with me to the polling site if I would be allowed to vote? Maybe I'm just out of luck this year. :(

    If you put a pro-abortion candidate in office, then you have no chance of law being changed toward pro-life...or laws could be changed for the worse. Your logic does not make sense.

    Even a banner, on Homepage, that reads "EARLY VOTING IS EASY!! TAKES FIVE MINUTES! Learn more {here}." with a link advising them to google their states name + EARLY VOTING.
    The link, prominently displayed (maybe blinking, ha ha!!) could also give some basic info, like *ANYONE* can early vote in most states, tell them to verify where/when/to early vote, check out if the early voting station closes for lunch (some do!) and EMPHASIZE SATURDAYS are typically available to early vote, etc etc etc.

    MAKE IT APPEALING!! LET THEM KNOW?

    Yes, that is true, but go look at the ElectionLand homepage. Nothing.
    NOT EVEN ON THE LIST of choices on the side menu on homepage.
    Not a word.
    AND EARLY VOTING IS SO SO SO IMPORTANT to those who work/have kids/etc. ESPECIALLY in Indiana.
    Try working in another precinct than your polling place.....you get off at 5:30pm...pick up your kids....zoom across town, and BAM, you are out of luck, it is 6:01pm.

    Yes, the polls DO open at 6am, but with school kids, that is NOT an easy option for parents, either, AND the 6am line is daunting, absolutely NUTZ, a mile long. You WILL be late for work, or have to skip your kids breakfast that day.

    I am just passionate advocate, having missed out on casting my vote in the past, cuz i had to work late (Indiana closes polls at 6pm!!!?) and i know i am NOT the only one that has happened to. (i did not know ANYONE can early vote, i'd heard of it, but thought one had to have 'some excuse' to cast an early vote.)

    Because i do think EARLY VOTING *is* a little known option, that IS widely available in most states, and is SO SO SO EASY, SO SO EASY, i just think it ought to be trumpetted from the rooftops.

    i just wish places like ElectionLand,--- which IS so often turned to, so powerful in educating people about how to vote------would really Hammer 'EARLY VOTING' into a lil more prominent area, and PUSH early voting as a viable EASY option.

    You'd probably be surprised how many people think early voting requires a note from a doctor, airline ticket, etc etc. I'm not kidding!! Or--how many people have NEVER EVEN HEARD OF IT, nor realize HOW UBER EASY it is!!! Takes five whole minutes, whenever YOU feel like voting!!

    HOW COOL IS THAT? And so many just do not know.
