Registering to vote, making address changes and the like should be much easier this year thanks to a new website promoted by Secretary of State Todd Rokita.
www.indianavoters.com is a new electronic database that links all of Indiana's 92 county's voter registration records with the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles database and the Social Security Administration database, to help verify voter registration records.
You can put in your name, county and date of birth and find the address with which you are registered with your county voter registration office, as well as contact information to change it if this is incorrect. If it is correct, you can find your polling place, driving directions, and all precincts for which you can vote in upcoming elections.
Also check out the state's Voter Information Portal, provided by Rokita's office, which is in charge of elections across the state. There are links and downloadable guides for a wide range of interests, from first-time voters to poll workers, as well as information about A.D.A. compliance, voting machines, and information for Spanish-speaking residents. Also, a 2008 calendar of important election deadlines.
