In an effort to make voting in the June 2 Primary Election easier, the state of Indiana now allows voters to request an absentee ballot online. Previously a voter could only request an absentee ballot by mail, email or fax.

“We’re facing an unusual situation in this year’s primary, and I am committed to making sure all Indiana voters can vote with security and convenience,” Secretary of State Connie Lawson said.

Any registered voter may request an absentee ballot for the June 2 Primary.

Completed applications must be received by May 21.

After an application has been received, the voter will be mailed a Primary Election ballot.

Completed ballots must be received by noon on June 2.
