Indiana Secretary of State Todd Rokita announced today that so far in 2008, more than a half million Hoosiers have either registered to vote for the first time or updated their existing voter registration records.

The total number of eligible voters registered in Indiana is now nearly 4.4 million with six weeks remaining until the Oct. 6 voter registration deadline.

“Hoosiers are eager to participate in what could be the biggest Election Day in our nation’s history in terms of turnout,” Rokita said. “With our state-of-the-art Statewide Voter Registration System and the collaboration between local and state election officials, Indiana and its 92 counties are well-equipped to handle the influx of voters and to conduct a secure and successful 2008 election.”

Rokita recommends any voter unsure about the status of his or her registration or polling place visit the website www.indianavoters.com or call (866) IN-1-VOTE. Voters can also find information about the option to vote absentee-in-person beginning 29 days before Election Day, or by mail if eligible.

This week, Rokita also begins a statewide tour to include stops in more than 40 Indiana counties between now and Election Day. He will meet with voters, local election officials, civic organizations, and others to discuss Indiana’s efforts to prepare for the election, recent reforms in the election process, and the important things voters will need to know in order to register to vote and navigate the polls on Election Day.
