Hamilton County is rolling out a wave of early in-person voting sites, giving local voters extra chances to cast a ballot before the May 5 primary. New satellite locations in Carmel, Fishers and Westfield will open for limited runs in late April and early May, while Noblesville’s Judicial Center and the Hamilton County Fairgrounds have already been taking early votes since early April. Evening and weekend hours are built in to catch residents who cannot make it during the standard weekday grind.
Where And When You Can Vote Early
According to the county’s elections page, satellite early-voting sites will operate on the following schedule: Wednesday–Thursday, April 22–23 from 2–7 p.m.; Friday–Saturday, April 24–25 from 10 a.m.–3 p.m.; Wednesday–Thursday, April 29–30 from 2–7 p.m.; and Friday–Saturday, May 1–2 from 10 a.m.–3 p.m. The same page shows that the Judicial Center and the Hamilton County Fairgrounds in Noblesville have already been open with weekday hours starting April 7. The full schedule and complete list of polling sites are posted online, according to Hamilton County.
Satellite Sites In Carmel, Fishers And Westfield
Hamilton County’s temporary satellite stops are spread across familiar community spots. In Carmel, voters can head to Cool Creek Nature Center and the Carmel Library. In Fishers, the Billericay Park Building and Roy G. Holland Memorial Park Building are on the list. Westfield voters can use Westfield City Hall and the Westfield Washington Township office. The county also pushed the schedule and locations out over social media on Monday. See the announcement on Hamilton County.
What To Bring And Important Notes
With the satellite sites open for relatively short windows, officials are urging voters to plan their trips and show up with proper photo identification in hand. The Carmel Clay Public Library notes that early voting at the main library is open to any registered Hamilton County voter and lists acceptable IDs such as an Indiana driver’s license, state ID, U.S. passport or U.S. military ID, according to Carmel Clay Public Library. Voters who need information on accommodations or registration are directed to contact the elections office.
Early In-Person Voting Already Underway In Noblesville
In-person early voting has been available at the Judicial Center and the Hamilton County Fairgrounds since April 7, with extended weekday hours carrying through the month. Local reporting on the rollout noted that those Noblesville sites would serve as the first in-person options before the satellite locations came online later in April, according to LarryInFishers.
