Indiana will soon be scanning voter rolls for noncitizens after receiving access to a revamped federal system, Secretary of State Diego Morales announced.

Indiana Secretary of State has signed an agreement with the Department of Homeland Security to verify the citizenship of those registered to vote in Indiana with SAVE data.

The agreement with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services allows the state to access a database to verify citizenship of individuals on the state’s voter rolls.

Indiana Secretary of State Diego Morales has signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with the Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (DHS-USCIS), granting the state access to Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) data.

By Marilyn Odendahl The Indiana Citizen July 7, 2025 New laws passed during the 2025 session of the Indiana General Assembly that expand the state’s proof-of-citizenship voting requirements have brought fresh allegations that the statutes violate federal protections and renew the potential of a lawsuit being filed against the state.

This July 1, Indiana sees a new batch of laws hitting the books, bringing some big changes across the state. From highways to schools and everything in between, these updates are shaping how Hoosiers live and work. Here’s a quick breakdown of what’s new:

A series of new laws will take effect in Indiana on Tuesday, including changes to voter registration even reviewing the state’s border with Illinois.

The report found the 2024 presidential election saw a drop in Election Day voting and a corresponding increase in early, in-person voting. Election Day voting declined from 49% in 2022 to roughly 37% in 2024, when 35% took advantage of voting early.

Over 200 bills have been passed by Gov. Mike Braun since he took office in January, and many of those laws are now set to take effect.

That's false. There is nothing in the legislation that would allow Trump, or any future president, to stop an election from going forward.
