White appeared in court Friday in Noblesville north of Indianapolis to answer the charges, which also include perjury, theft and financial fraud.
A magistrate set an Aug. 8 trial date for White, who was indicted by a Hamilton County grand jury based on claims he lied about his address on various documents. Prosecutors contend White voted in last May's Republican primary after moving out of his ex-wife's home in Fishers and the town council district he represented.
White has acknowledged the voting error, but told reporters before the hearing that he was "absolutely innocent."
