Republicans revive push to shorten Indiana's early voting period
Indiana’s early voting period would be cut from 28 days to 16 days in a year-old push revived by Republican state senators.
The proposal for fewer early voting days was added Monday by the Senate Elections Committee through an amendment; no public testimony was allowed.
Committee Chair Sen. Mike Gaskill, R-Pendleton, said the change he proposed would still allow for three weekends of in-person early voting ahead of Election Day.
“A shorter amount of time for early voting will save money and also make it easier to administer the election,” Gaskill said.
