Nearly 550,000 Hoosiers requested absentee ballots for the 2020 primary a huge increase from prior years after the state expanded vote-by-mail to anyone who wanted it.

The Indianapolis City-County Council held a virtual meeting Monday night and took up several measures related to the COVID-19 response.

The leaders of Indiana's two major political parties want all Hoosiers to be able to vote by mail in May's primary.

The Senate committee's approval comes despite objections from Secretary of State Connie Lawson's office.
