HB1264 prohibits political subdivisions from joining or participating in programs offered by those who have directly financed certain election activities. It specifies proof-of-residency requirements for in-person voter registration and requires the statewide voter registration system to flag potential nonresidential addresses. It outlines the process county officials must follow if a nonresidential address is identified.
The Indiana State Senate passed HB1264 on February 29, 2024 by a vote of 34 to 13. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because states should exercise their authority under Article I, Section 4, of the U.S. Constitution to ensure free, fair, and secure elections, thereby guaranteeing equal protection of the voting rights of U.S. citizens. Additionally, Article IV, Section 2, of the U.S. Constitution stipulates that U.S. citizens are entitled to all privileges and immunities, including the right to vote as established by the 26th Amendment.
