Marion County opens early voting ahead of Nov. 3 election

Early voting for Indiana’s Nov. 3 general election is underway in Marion County, initially at the City-County Building, 200 E. Washington St. Eight additional sites are scheduled to open Oct. 24 and remain available through Nov. 1.

At the City-County Building, voting is in the Marion County Clerk’s Office on the first floor, on the west side of the building. Voters should enter from Delaware Street; four parking spaces on North Delaware Street near the entrance are reserved for voters.

The building’s listed early-voting hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays through Oct. 23; 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Oct. 24-25 and Oct. 31-Nov. 1; and until noon on Nov. 2.

The eight additional sites will be open daily from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Oct. 24 through Nov. 1:

- Decatur Township Government Center, 5410 S. High School Road - Franklin Township Government Center, 6231 S. Arlington Ave. - Indianapolis Public Library’s Fort Ben Branch, 9330 E. 56th St. - Indianapolis Public Library’s Pike Branch, 6525 N. Zionsville Road - Krannert Park Community Center, 605 S. High School Road - Perry Township Government Center, 4925 Shelby St. - St. Luke’s United Methodist Church, 100 W. 86th St. - Warren Township Government Center, 501 N. Post Road

Voters casting a regular ballot must present a photo ID that shows their name and has an expiration date that is current or falls after the last general election. The ID must be issued by Indiana or the federal government. Indiana driver’s licenses and state ID cards, U.S. passports and military IDs qualify; student IDs do not.

A voter without ID may cast a provisional ballot, then present identification to the Marion County Election Board by noon 10 days after Election Day for the ballot to be counted.

Voters can review a sample ballot and check the full location schedule through IndyVOTES at vote.indy.gov. People eligible to vote absentee by mail must request a ballot by Oct. 22.
