Bureau of Motor Vehicles Open Today to Issue IDs for Election Day

Today is Election Day and voters need to have a valid ID in order to cast a ballot.

BMV branches will be open today from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. local time to prioritize processing transactions that include new, amended, renewed, or replacement identification cards, learner permits, driver’s licenses, and CDLS that do not require testing. 

Individuals who hold a driver’s license or ID card that expired after the last general election (November 3, 2020) may use the expired card as proof of identification for voting purposes. The paper interim credential issued to customers at the branch at the time of the transaction or after a customer has completed an internet transaction is acceptable proof of identification for voting purposes.

The Indiana BMV provides free, state-issued ID cards for voting purposes to any unlicensed Hoosier who is a U.S. citizen, who can provide proper documentation, and who will be at least 18 years of age on or before the next general or municipal election.
