INDIANAPOLIS – A bill that would change the rules for voting by mail has passed out of the Indiana House.
Last week, the House passed House Bill 1116, which would require a voter to say under penalty of perjury that they can’t vote in person on Election Day or during the state’s 28-day early voting period.
The bill passed by a vote of 66-28.
Those in favor of the bill say it encourages people to vote in person as much as possible by taking advantage of the early voting period.
Oppositions say the bill will make it more difficult for Hoosiers to vote.
House Bill 1116 would have exceptions for the elderly and people with disabilities.
The bill now heads to the Senate for consideration.
