Voter Registration

When can I register to vote?

You can register to vote if you will be 18 years of age on the date of the next election (which means you can register when you're 17 as long as your 18th birthday is before the first Tuesday in November).

Also, voter registration closes 30 days before the election. So don't expect to register the day before the election because it will be too late!

Where can I register to vote?

In Tippecanoe County, you can register to vote when you get your driver's license at the BMV , at the City Clerk's Office in Lafayette or West Lafayette, or you can register at the Tippecanoe County Board of Registration in the Tippecanoe County Courthouse on the first floor.

Board of Registration's Address:
Tippecanoe County Courthouse
