Voters who wish to cast their votes absentee by mail must make sure to get their application in by this Monday.

Indiana Secretary of State Todd Rokita issued a reminder that the form can be faxed, delivered or mailed, but it must be received -- not just postmarked -- by the April 28 deadline.

To request an absentee application, call the Porter County Voter Registration Office at 465-3484 or 465-3486.

Absentee voting in-person has begun and will continue through May 5 at noon.

Voters may vote absentee at the Voter Registration Office in the County Administration Center from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. tomorrow and on Saturday, May 3.

Absentee voting is also ongoing at the North Porter County Government Building in Portage from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Voters who are confined and need to have their ballot delivered by an absentee voter board, or traveling board, need to make sure their application is received in the County Voter Registration office by noon, May 5.
