Indiana permits voters age 65 and over to vote by mail, but does not extend the same right to younger voters, unless they will be absent from their home area on election day. A case is currently pending in the U.S. Supreme Court on whether this law violates the 26th Amendment, which says, “The right of citizens of the United States, who are 18 years of age or older, to vote shall not be denied or abridged.”

On April 8, the Constitutional Accountability Center filed this amicus brief in the case, which is Tully v Okeson, 20-1244. The Center argues that the Indiana law does violate the 26th amendment.

The state will be filing its brief in defense of its law later today. Then the Court will consider whether to hear it. The lower court had upheld the law.
