Election Day Is Tuesday

Last updated on Tuesday, November 8, 2016

(UNDATED) - Election Day is Tuesday.

The polls open at 6 a.m. and will close promptly at 6 p.m.

To help voters prepare, here are some reminders of what you need to know before you go to the polls.

Voters need to double check where they need to cast their votes because many Lawrence County Polling places changed during the primary election.

The new locations are:

If citizens have issues on or leading up to Election Day, they are encouraged to contact the Secretary of State's office. Hoosier voters can file complaints with the Secretary of State's office regarding polling place accessibility or concerns regarding possible fraudulent activities. To file a complaint or report an issue, voters may call 1-866-IN1-VOTE (1-866-461-8683). Secretary of State staff are on hand during business hours, 8:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m., Monday- Friday as well as 6:00 a.m. to 7 p.m. Eastern Time on Election Day.

Hoosiers may also complete the Indiana Voter Fraud and Accessibility Grievance affidavit form, which is located on the Secretary of State website at http://www.in.gov/sos/elections/2653.htm. Those who submit this form are advised to have it notarized in order to assist investigators and prosecutors, before filing it with the Secretary of State's office.

The Secretary of State's office will also be implementing an Election Day Response Team. Several Special Secretary of State Deputies will be appointed for the purpose of responding to any election related issues, spot-checking polling locations for accessibility and integrity in the process. If you believe there is an issue and want to notify the special deputies serving on the response team, please contact 1-866-IN1-VOTE (1-866-461-8683).
