(Indianapolis, Ind.) – With the primary elections right around the corner and many not wanting to go to the polling stations due to the coronavirus pandemic, ballots can now be mailed.
According to Randy Frye (R-Greensburg), registered voters in the Hoosier state can now submit an online application to receive their mail-in absentee ballot.
Due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, the primary election was postponed from its original date to June 2. Registered voters do not need a reason to vote absentee in the upcoming election, and can request a ballot online or by fax, mail or email.
"Safety is always a priority, including when we are exercising our civic duty," Frye said. "Using an absentee ballot at this time helps ensure people stay healthy and control the spread of the virus as they participate in the primary election without leaving their homes."
To request a mail-in ballot online, visit IndianaVoters.com and click the "apply online" button under "Vote by Mail or Traveling Board." Election ballot applications can be requested through May 21, and mail-in ballots must be received by noon on June 2.
Frye said for voters who have already received a mail-in ballot dated May 5, 2020, it will be considered valid. Voters can still choose to cast their ballot in person, either during early voting May 26 through June 1, or from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. on June 2.
