LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- A Republican lawmaker wants to drastically cut the early voting window for Hoosiers.
Sen. Gary Byrne, R-47, wants to reduce early to 14 days from the current 28 days before elections. Byrne said election clerks have told him that early voting centers are hard to staff for the full 28 days, especially during the first week or two of early voting.
Critics have pointed out how long lines plagued voting locations during the 2024 General Election, with many Hoosiers reporting standing in line for hours.
The bill will now head to the full senate.
