INDIANAPOLIS — Election Day is coming soon, but Indiana’s deadline to register to vote is a month before the polls close. A group of teenagers took it upon themselves to remind the neighborhood around their school.
KIIP Indy Legacy High School students spent Wednesday morning knocking on doors in the Martindale-Brightwood neighborhood near Douglass Park.
WRTV Indiana’s voter registration deadline is Oct. 7 and early voting starts the next day on Oct. 8. You can register to vote or check your voter registration by clicking here.
The students not only encouraged neighbors to vote, but asked them what traits they looked for in a candidate.
WRTV “Everybody values integrity and honesty when it comes to voting and who they want to be their president,” said Dylon Roundtree, a senior at KIPP Indy Legacy High School.
WRTV While the students were canvassing the neighborhood, the Marion County Election Board prepared to mail absentee ballots to more than 10,000 voters across the county.
