Market-driven urbanism and community Fort Wayne, Indiana. Note to BMV: This is how the voting age works. April 29, 2008. If we had believed the workers at the Waynedale Bureau of Motor Vehicles, my son would not be voting in the primary next week. They kept insisting that 17-year-olds cannot vote in the primary if they turn 18 before the general election in November. But the following is from the Indiana Secretary of State’s Web site. Q: I’m turning 18 right before the election. When can I register?
