Delivering these election improvement grants ahead of Election Day is key to furthering the safety of our elections. Through my office's continued partnership with our county clerks, we can ensure that the election process is handled with the utmost integrity, which Hoosier voters expect and deserve," said Diego Morales, Indiana Secretary of State. Secretary Morales strongly encourages every eligible Hoosier to register to vote prior to the upcoming October 7^th registration deadline and vote in the November 5^th General Election.
