Indiana Secretary of State Holli Sullivan reminds Hoosiers that today, Tuesday, April 5 is the first day of in-person absentee voting in Indiana for the 2022 Primary Election.

“Today is the beginning of primary election season,” Secretary Sullivan said. “Over the next 28 days Hoosiers can vote early, in-person before Primary Election Day. 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. Indiana continues to lead the way when it comes to conducting accessible elections.”

Voting absentee in-person is open from April 5, 2022, to May 2, 2022. All registered Indiana voters are eligible to vote absentee in-person. Voters who choose to vote by mail may request an absentee ballot online at www.indianavoters.com or from their county clerk’s office.

Request for absentee ballots by mail must be delivered by April 21.

In Putnam County, voters qualified to vote in the May 3 Primary Election may vote in advance on the 2nd floor of the Putnam County Courthouse from Tuesday, April 5, through Monday 12:00 pm, May 2. Hours will be 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Monday through Friday.

The Putnam County Courthouse and the Bainbridge Vote Center at 201 N Grant Ave. will be open for early voting from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on Saturday, April 23, and Saturday, April 30.

If a voter needs to have a ballot mailed to them or needs to request the Travel Team come to their home and assist them with voting they should call the Voter Registration office at 765-655-1538.

Military families are encouraged to remind those serving overseas to request an absentee ballot in advance of the deadline.

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