The primary election in Indiana will now be held on June 2. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the State of Indiana encourages you to vote by absentee ballot.

Hoosiers can now file an application for absentee ballot for the June 2 primary online though http://Indianavoters.com .

Use the “vote by mail or traveling board” button. Click on  visit my voter portal, go to absentee voting/vote by mail on the left side.  This is a direct application – and once completed, your ballot will be sent to you.  It saves the step of printing, completing and mailing in the absentee ballot request.

Please click here to access a printable application for an absentee ballot.

Mail your completed application (if you are printing and mailing your absentee ballot) to:
Harrison County Circuit Clerk Court
Courthouse, Room 203
300 North Capitol Avenue
Corydon, IN 47112-1155

Once the application is received, you will receive your ballot by mail with a prepaid envelope. Absentee ballot application requests are due by May 21. To request an absentee ballot application by phone, please call 812-738-4289.

At this time, Indiana still plans for in-person voting on June 2.

There is no doubt we are living in uncertain times.  The Harrison County Public Library wants you to know that no matter what, we are here for you.  That is for certain. While we are all doing our best to flatten the curve by staying and working from home, please know that your library staff are staying connected and working to find new ways to bring you needed information and resources.

Until then we are always open 24 hours a day, seven days a week at www.hcpl.lib.in.us with access to eBooks, eMagazines, downloadable audiobooks and other eResources.
