Early voting ended at noon on Monday all across the state, but not everyone who lined up to cast their ballot early got a chance to do that. Some voters say they were turned away after being told they weren't registered, voters like Donna Hill's 18-year-old son, Nelson. This election was supposed to be the first one in which Nelson would cast his ballot. "He was so excited," said Hill of her son, who went to vote last week in Johnson County. "It's a rite of passage." But it never happened. Nelson was told he wasn't registered and couldn't vote. "They put the driver's license in the little scanner, and they scanned it, and they said, 'You're not registered. You'll want to contact somebody because we can't take your vote today,'" Hill said Nelson was told at the place where he went to vote. According to Hill, Nelson registered in September 2023 at the BMV when he was still 17. At first, Hill wondered if the BMV had dropped the ball with Nelson's application. Hill says she contacted Johnson County voter registration and was told Nelson's registration had been denied. "He turned 18 after the primary, the election in May," Hill explained. "He turned 18 in June, so because of the time frame of his date of birth, they weren't able to accept his registration," Hill said she was told. Pike Township Trustee and poll watcher Annette Johnson says she has seen other voters get turned away, too, in Marion County at three different voting locations. Johnson says those voters were also told they weren't registered.
