INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles says license branches will extend their hours next week to issue ID cards and driver's licenses for identification at polling places during the general election.

The BMV says its branches will be open Monday, Nov. 5, from 8:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Tuesday, Nov. 6, from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Branches will only process new, amended or replacement ID cards and renewed, amended, or replacement driver's licenses and learner permits on those days.

The BMV says individuals who hold a driver's license or ID card that expired after the last general election may use them as proof of identification for voting purposes.

GOP US Rep. Spartz, of Indiana, charged with bringing gun through airport security, officials say

Authorities say Indiana Republican U.S. Rep. Victoria Spartz has been charged with bringing a firearm through airport security. Airport officials said Monday she was charged with a Class 1 misdemeanor. Spartz's office says she was traveling to Europe and mistakenly carried an unloaded handgun in the pocket of her suitcase while going through security at Washington Dulles International Airport. Spartz is a staunch Second Amendment Republican representing central Indiana. She won her primary in May after saying last year that she would retire from congress. The charge carries up to a year in jail and a $2,500 fine if convicted.
