Indiana 2026 election administration

Election officials in Indiana have established the procedural requirements and deadlines for the 2026 election cycle. For the General Election, the registration deadline is set for October 5, with Election Day occurring on November 3.

Eligibility requirements include U.S. citizenship, being at least 18 years old by Election Day, and residing in a voting precinct for at least 30 days. Officials noted that previously incarcerated individuals, transgender people, college students, people with disabilities, recently naturalized citizens, and unhoused individuals remain eligible if they meet standard requirements.

Regarding identification, voters must present a government-issued photo ID from the State of Indiana, the U.S. government, or a federally recognized Native American tribe. Due to changes in state law, student IDs from state colleges and universities are no longer accepted. Voters lacking qualifying identification may cast a provisional ballot, provided they follow up with their county election board within 10 days after the election.
