See information below on where to vote and what's on your ballot.

INDIANAPOLIS — Indiana voters return to the polls to choose democrat and republican candidates to appear on the November ballot. There are also several school referendums on the ballots.

The primary election is scheduled for Tuesday, May 2. You can find election results here.

Below is information you need to know in order to make your vote count.

Early voting

Indiana allows early, in-person voting for all registered voters for 28 days before the election. That ended at noon May 1.

In Marion County, some 12,653 people cast a ballot during early voting. More than 2,000 more submitted mail-in ballots.

Voting on Election Day

Polls will be open on Tuesday, May 2, from 6 a.m. until 6 p.m. local time. If you are in line by 6 p.m., you will be permitted to vote. Voters will need a valid photo ID to vote.

To find the locations where you can vote, go to indianavoters.in.gov. Then, click on Voting Location.

Many counties no longer require you to go a specific precinct location and instead allow you to select from any of the voting centers in the county.

Who and what are you voting for?

You may also find that information here. Click the Who’s on the Ballot option.

Remember, whatever party you register under, your ballot will only show candidates for that party.

Some ballots may also include referendums, also called public questions, where voters will need to vote "yes" or "no." These involve questions about spending tax money for school construction or operating expenses.
