INDIANAPOLIS – The Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles announced Tuesday branches will extend hours of operation for the primary election.
Branches will be open from 8:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. on June 1 and from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. on June 2 to issue ID cards and driver’s licenses to be used for identification at a polling place. Appointments are not required for these two days of operation, but service is limited.
Under Indiana state law, BMV branches are open to the public for extended hours on Election Day and the day before Election Day. To meet the requirements of this law, the BMV will not require appointments needing an ID for voting purposes.
During this extended period of operation, service offerings are limited to new, amended, renewed or replacement ID and driver’s licenses for voting purposes. All other BMV services are not available June 1 and June 2. Appointments will resume on June 3 and will be required for all transactions. Appointments can be scheduled at www.in.gov/bmv/2405.htm.
The number of customers permitted in the branch at one time will vary by location. Once the permitted number is reached, the next customer will be asked to wait outside on sidewalks that are marked with appropriate spacing.
Individuals who hold a driver’s license or ID card that has expired after the last General Election (Nov. 6, 2018) may use the expired card as proof of identification for voting purposes.
