Who can participate?

In order to vote in Indiana, you must be:

• A U.S. citizen and a resident of Indiana;
• Living in the precinct where you will vote for at least 30 days prior to the election; and
• At least 18 years old by November 3, 2020 — that means if you are 17 by the primary election but will be 18 by the general, you can vote for Bernie in the primary!

If you have been convicted of a felony, your voting rights will automatically be restored after completing your prison sentence. If you are currently on parole, probation, or with outstanding fines, you are still eligible to vote.

Where and when do I vote?

You can find your polling place here for in-person voting from May 26, 2020 through June 1, 2020. Polling places will be open from 6am to 6pm on Primary Election Day. Anyone in line by 6pm polls close will be allowed to vote!

If you choose to vote in person, please take precaution and bring your own mask and pen.

Do I have to be a registered Democrat to vote for Bernie?

No, you do not need to be a registered Democrat in order to vote for Bernie. However, you will need to request a Democratic Party ballot when you vote.

Do I need to bring my ID?

Yes, you are required to bring a photo ID when voting. To see a full list of acceptable forms of photo ID, please click here.

If you don’t have a photo ID, you can get a free Indiana state ID card from the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles.

If you do not have an ID when voting, you should be allowed to cast a provisional ballot.

If your name does not appear on the voter list, if you do not have a photo ID with you, or if the poll workers question your eligibility for any reason, do not give up voting for Bernie!

What is provisional voting?

First, make sure you are at the right polling location. If you are at the wrong polling location and are able, make sure you get to your assigned polling location.

If it’s confirmed that you are at the right polling place but your name isn’t on the voter list, ask for a provisional ballot! You have the right to cast a provisional ballot even if your name isn’t on the voter list. It will be counted after the election official determines that you were eligible to vote.

Can I bring anyone to help me? Can I bring an interpreter?

Yes! You have the right to bring someone into the voting booth to help you vote, as long as they do not represent your employer or union. You can bring a relative, a friend or anyone else you trust.

In addition, every polling place is required to be accessible and have voting systems that allow voters with disabilities to vote independently and privately.
