FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
STATEHOUSE (Feb. 24, 2026) — A bill authored by State Sen. Daryl Schmitt (R-Jasper) that will automatically update voter registration for candidates who withdraw from elections if the address on their withdrawal form is different from their registration was signed into law today by Gov. Mike Braun.
Senate Enrolled Act 112 will help ensure Hoosiers are voting where they live and remove a step a former candidate needs to take if they move.
"Candidates may drop out of an election for different reasons, including relocation or losing eligibility to hold office," Schmitt said. "This legislation will make voter registration more efficient and ensure Hoosiers are voting where they live, and I am pleased with the governor's decision to sign Senate Enrolled Act 112 into law."
Schmitt also encourages constituents to contact him with any questions or comments they may have. Schmitt can be reached by filling out a "Contact Me" form online at www.IndianaSenateRepublicans.com/Schmitt or by phone at 800-382-9467.
