One hundred years ago this year the 19th amendment was passed and women throughout the entire country could vote for the first time. My mind boggles to think not that long ago, less than half the age of our country, I couldn’t have voted in Indiana due to no fault of my own.
I don’t want to take this right for granted and plan to vote in the upcoming general election on November 3rd. Indiana has a wonderful voter portal at https://indianavoters.in.gov/ for anyone who needs to check voting status, register to vote, find out who’s on your ballot, or apply to vote by mail (absentee). Keep these deadlines in mind:
Voter Registration – October 5th
Absentee Ballot Application – October 22nd by 11:59pm
If you’re unsure who your current elected officials are, you can type in your address on http://wayeo.egis.39dn.com/ and find every level of government.
Don’t forget to vote on November 3rd!
