First reading: referred to Committee on Elections and Apportionment
Summary
HB 1096 would add a question to Indiana voter‑registration forms asking applicants to list a political party. It would bar anyone from voting in a primary unless they have a party affiliation recorded at least 119 days before the primary, with limited exceptions for recent movers and 17‑year‑old registrants. The bill also changes absentee‑ballot rules, adds a small civil penalty for unsolicited absentee ballots, and directs the secretary of state to hold public meetings on election equipment.
