  what if my address is different than the address on my license?

  3 1 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.

  What if I got married and now have a different last name than the name on my voter registration?

  1 0 First of all, you can still vote in the upcoming election even if you haven't changed your name yet. In order to change your name on your voter registration, you'll need to fill out another voter registration application. The deadline to do so in time for the November 2010 elections has passed (it was October 4th). After the election, you can do fill out a new voter registration application online: https://indianavoters.in.gov/PublicSite/PublicMain.aspx.

  What if my college or university encourages me to vote at home?

  0 0 You have the legal right to register and vote at any address that you will have been living in for a state-specific amount of time prior to the election. In every state, if you moved into on-or off-campus housing at the start of the fall semester, you will have been living there for long enough to vote.

  Are there any restrictions on registering to vote using a P.O. Box, college campus, or dorm address?

  0 0 A person may register to vote using any address he or she considers to be his or her legal residence. Residence requires both domicile and a place of abode. A P.O. Box is sufficient as a mailing address, but insufficient to establish residency. College students should list the street address of their dorm and specify the room, floor, or apartment they occupy.
