Clinton County Clerk Stephanie Harshbarger is reminding those who aren’t already registered to vote in the Primary Election on Tuesday, May 5th, that they have two weeks left to do so. The deadline to register to vote is Monday, April 6.
“If you’re not sure whether or not you’re currently registered, you can always check online,” Harshbarger says. “You’ll find everything you need to know at www.indianavoters.com.”
Harshbarger would also like to remind parents of first-time voters that they can vote in the primary even if they are not yet 18-years old.
“If you have a 17-year-old who will be 18-years-old on November 5, they can participate in the primary election in May,” Harshbarger adds. “Primary elections are a great opportunity for first-time voters to learn how elections work and start building lifelong habits of civic involvement. I encourage parents to talk with their teens about the importance of voting and help them take that first step.”
In addition to registering online, residents can also register by mail or in person at the Clinton County Clerk’s Office on the third floor of the Clinton County Annex Building. If you are currently registered to vote in Clinton County and have moved or changed your name, please visit the County Clerk’s Office to fill out the voter registration form.
