Experts say Indiana's low voter turnout could be due to barriers voters face that doesn't exist in other states
INDIANAPOLIS — Wednesday was the first day of early voting in Indiana and many people headed to the polls to cast their ballots. However, in Indiana, voter turnout is much lower than most states, especially during non-presidential election years.
Indiana requires an ID when voting and voter registration closes 29 days before the election. The Supreme Court requires states to allow voter registration to remain open 30 days before the election. Surrounding states like Illinois and Michigan allow voters to register on the day of the election."We see that turn out is highest in vote-by-mail states where mail-in ballots are allowed for everybody and people can study their choices before mailing in those ballots,” Bennion said.
"The school board for sure I think that's an important race here and a couple of other county offices,” Steve Schwartz, a Hamilton County Voter said.
