From 1912 to 1926, Indiana had a voter registration system for both primary and general elections. The County Auditor was custodian of the voter registration books that were created for each voting precinct. Until 1920, aliens who had filed their declaration of intention could vote in Indiana; detailed proof was required. Separate registration books were also kept for women after they were given the right to vote in 1920. Few of these registration books and application papers survive, although Franklin County has a nearly complete set, and many exist in Warren County. These remain in the courthouse. In 1933 the Clerk of the Circuit Court began registering voters; these records do not provide birth dates and citizenship data as the earlier records do. | From 1912 to 1926, Indiana had a voter registration system for both primary and general elections.
