The Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) announced this week that branches will extend hours of operation for the primary election.

Branches will be open on Monday, June 1, from 8:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. and on Tuesday, June 2, from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. to issue ID cards and driver’s licenses to be used for identification at a polling place. Appointments are not required for these two days of operation, but service will be limited to new, amended, renewed, or replacement ID and driver’s license for voting purposes. All other BMV services are not available June 1 and June 2.

Appointments will resume on June 3 and will be required for all transactions. Appointments can be scheduled here: https://www.in.gov/bmv/2405.htm.

Individuals who hold a driver’s license or ID card that has expired after the last General Election (November 6, 2018) may use the expired card as proof of identification for voting purposes.

Under Indiana state law, BMV branches are open to the public for extended hours on Election Day and the day before Election Day.

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.
