From our friends at HRC:

 

Monday, 4/7 is the deadline to register to vote/change your voting
address in order to vote in the 5/6 primary election in Indiana.

The voter registration/ change of address form, accepted by all 92
counties, is online: http://www.in. gov/sos/election s/pdfs/50504. pdf .
To register to vote in Indiana, you must be a citizen of the United
States, be at least 18 years old on or before 11/4/08, have lived in
your precinct for at least 30 days prior to 5/6 (except for certain
military voters), and not currently be imprisoned after being
convicted of a crime.

If you have moved since the last time you voted, you may also use the

current address.

Do it soon! The deadline is Monday, 4/7!

Through OUTSpoken Families, Family Equality Council has trained more than 450 parents, guardians and allies in more than 15 cities since 2006. For the Indianapolis training, Family Equality Council is proud to have Indianapolis PFLAG, Indiana Fairness Network, The Bilerico Project and LikeOurFamily.com as generous co-sponsors of the event.

About the Family Equality Council
Family Equality Council is proud to be the national non-profit organization dedicated to securing family equality. We recognize and believe that the laws, provisions and ordinances that hurt LGBTQ-headed families also hurt so many others-single parents, blended families, families of color, etc. To that end, Family Equality Council is standing strong to defeat anti-family legislation and promote pro-family legislation.  For more information, please visit www.familyequality.org.
