(Indianapolis, IN) - Early voting for the May primary election began today throughout Indiana.  “I encourage every registered voter to take advantage of the early-voting window and cast their ballot at a time that is convenient for them,” said Indiana Secretary of State Holli Sullivan.

Voting absentee in-person is open until May 2.  Sullivan said voters choosing to vote by mail may request an absentee ballot online at www.indianavoters.com or from their county clerk’s office.

Requests for absentee ballots by mail must be delivered by April 21, she said. Military families are encouraged to remind those serving overseas to request an absentee ballot in advance of the deadline.

Sullivan also noted more than half of Indiana counties now offer vote centers, which allow voters to cast a ballot at any polling location in their county.
