- You have a disability.
- You are at least 65 years of age.
- You will have official election duties outside of your voting precinct.

However, a first time voter in Indiana who registered to vote by mail and did not provide proof of residency will be asked to include that evidence with their absentee balloting materials. This can be a state-issued ID where the address matches their registration, but can also be a bank statement, utility bill, etc.
- Finally, a voter does need to file an application before each election for which the individual wants to vote absentee-by-mail.
