Commissioner of the
Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) Don Snemis announced that BMV license
branches will extend hours of operation on Monday, May 5 and Tuesday, May 6

credentials for use at polling locations.
Branches will be
open on Monday, May 5, from 8:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Tuesday, May 6, from 6

old enough to vote in the general election. The following documents are
