As you know the Indiana primary has been moved to June 2, 2020. Given the current situation with covid-19 and the on-going potential for exposure the safest way to VOTE is by mail.
The Indiana election Board has changed several election procedures to facilitate this:
1. Anyone can request an Absentee Ballot without having to provide a specified reason - as was required previously.
2. REQUEST YOUR BALLOT ON-LINE NOW.
You no longer have to mail in a request to receive an absentee ballot for the May primary. The request can be completed online. Click on the link below, then click on Visit my Voter Portal - fill in your name, date of birth, County; on the next page - left side grey sidebar click on VOTE BY MAIL.
Complete the form and it will automatically go to the Morgan County Election Board for processing.
There is no need to stand in line to VOTE during this time of covid-19 and risk potential exposure - request your ballot now.

I just registered to vote using Indiana's Voter Portal. Update voting registration, see who's on the ballot, get election results, and so much more. Indianavoters.com
When you receive your ballot - don't hesitate - take the 5-10 minutes and VOTE and return. Don't let it lie around for a few days. Make sure that you insert your name where indicated, sign, and date the white "Absentee Ballot Security Envelope for Mailing Ballots"; then place your ballot in the white bi-fold pocket envelope that has 2 initials on the outside.
3. If you wish to submit a paper request for an Absentee Ballot you can download and print the application at:
https://www.in.gov/…/ABS-MAIL%20PRIMARY%202020.Form%2056929…
Or, you can request an Absentee Ballot application from the County Election Board by calling: (765) 342-1029
Or, sending a request to:
Elections
180 S Main St, Suite 001
Martinsville, IN 46151
Complete the form and mail to the County Election Board.
Regardless of what option you choose - do request your ballot and VOTE-BY-MAIL - don't risk any potential exposure by queuing in a line waiting for a voting machine.
VOTING CENTERS
Due to the public health concerns relating to covid-19 there will be fewer Voting Centers open for the election. Last election there were 14 voting centers; this primary there will be 4-6 voting centers. This makes it all the more important for as many people to VOTE-BY-MAIL as possible - so please get your request for an Absentee Ballot into the Election Board ASAP -- and VOTE.

DATES TO REMEMBER:

The upcoming elections will be the most important elections of our lifetimes, VOTE, get you family and friends out - these elections will determine whether Democracy and the American Dream live or die. It is up to you.
If you would like to help during this election we do need poll workers for June 2nd., and Absentee Ballot counters. Bear in mind that poll workers will be wearing certain forms of PPE, including masks, possible face shield, gloves, and maybe a covering/gown. All the more reason to VOTE-BY-MAIL.
Another way you can assist us is to help with tracking who requests an Absentee Ballot, making sure they receive one, and following up to ask if they have completed and returned. This can be done from home -if you can assist with this please let me know.
It is time to turn the tide - get the VOTE out - and stay safe.

You can not stay at home and hope that something is going to change. Change and advancement happen here at the local level and trickles UP - you can not expect to have a voice when you stay away and do not participate. And, you must VOTE - something which Democrats did not do in the last election. Morgan County had one of the lowest voter turnouts in the last election on record - if Democrats had come out and voted we may have won an election in Morgan County.
