Overview
- Indiana’s primary, with polls open 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday, requires a photo ID and the BMV will prioritize issuing free nondriver IDs for voters who need them.
- Marion County recorded 19,893 early ballots, Hamilton about 14,500, and Hendricks 6,978, far above recent primaries despite the lack of statewide races.
- Election officials credit contested local races such as sheriff primaries that could effectively decide the office in some counties for driving turnout.
- The ballot features all nine U.S. House seats, with Republican Rep. Erin Houchin unopposed in the 9th District as four Democrats—James Graham, Brad Meyer, Tim Peck and Kyle Roark—seek the nomination.
- Most Hoosiers can vote at any site in their county because 72 of 92 counties use vote centers, though Hamilton and Monroe still assign voters to specific polling locations.
