Exercising your right to vote is a privilege, responsibility and an essential part of being an engaged citizen. It is the one opportunity an individual has to actually have a say in shaping the policies and future for your local community, county and the country.

Citizens are best served by voting for candidates whose policies and plans most align with their own. Election season is filled with incendiary statements by numerous sources. Don't let your judgement be swayed by inflammatory news reports, advertisements, polls, groups, political parties and pundits. Educate yourself about current issues, policies and operation of government to expose bias.

Indiana law requires voters to produce a photo identification (ID), proving they are U.S. citizens, before casting a ballot.

The ID must contain the following elements:

• Display your photo;
• Display your name;
• Display an expiration date and be current or have expired after the Nov. 5, 2024 General Election;
• Be issued by the state or federal government.

If you need to update your state-issued ID, the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles will offer extended hours on Monday, Nov. 4, and Tuesday, Nov. 5. 

Voting Hours On Tuesday, Nov. 5

The Washington County Clerk’s Office reminds voters that polls are open from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., and to have their identification with them upon arriving at the election polling site.
