Polls open at 6 a.m. and close at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 3, and registered voters can cast a ballot at any Allen County vote center on Election Day, according to the Allen County Election Board.

That flexibility is still fairly new for local voters.

The county switched from precinct-based polling places to vote centers for the May primary, consolidating 110 polling locations into 53 vote centers, WPTA reported.

WBOI has explained how vote centers work, and WANE published a list of vote centers during the primary.

Check the Election Board's current map and list before you leave home, because your assigned precinct no longer decides where you vote.

What to bring

Every Indiana voter must show a photo ID before voting a regular ballot.

Under the state's photo ID law, the ID must show your photo, carry a name that conforms to your registration, and come from Indiana or the federal government.

It must also show an expiration date that is current or expired after the most recent general election.

An Indiana driver's license, Indiana ID card, military ID or U.S. passport generally meets those rules.

The address on your ID does not need to match your voter registration, according to the state's 2026 photo ID poster.

Voters without a valid photo ID can still cast a provisional ballot, which is counted once election officials verify eligibility.

Poll workers can explain how the machines work, but they cannot answer questions about candidates or specific ballot items.

Voters with disabilities may choose someone to help them, other than an employer or union representative, and every vote center has accessible machines.

The Indiana Voter's Bill of Rights summarizes what you can expect at the polls.

Registration and your ballot

Indiana does not allow same-day registration, the Indiana Capital Chronicle has explained, and the registration deadline for this election has passed.

You can confirm your registration, polling information and sample ballot on the Indiana voter portal.

Your ballot depends on where you live, but the county's list of offices on the general election ballot shows how long it can be.

It includes U.S. House District 3, state auditor, secretary of state and treasurer, state Senate and House seats, and county offices such as sheriff, prosecuting attorney and commissioner.

Several judgeships and school board seats in Fort Wayne Community Schools and three other Allen County districts also appear, along with township offices.

Statewide, two public questions would amend the Indiana Constitution.

One is a bail-related amendment that would give judges more authority to deny bail to certain defendants.

The other changes where city and town court judges must live, allowing them to reside in their county or a bordering county, according to Fox19.

The residency question's official ballot language is posted by the Indiana Office of Court Services.

Before you go

If you are in line at 6 p.m., stay in line, because Indiana voters in line when polls close are allowed to vote.

Early in-person voting began Oct. 6, and our early voting guide lists the final Monday hours at the Rousseau Centre.

Counting took longer than many expected in May, so allow time for final results.

Hours, sites and rules can change, so confirm details with the Election Board or call Voter Registration at 260-449-7154 before you go.
