Voter turnout numbers are coming in after Indiana's 2026 primary election.
Though the vote will not be certified until May 18, the Indiana Secretary of State gathered preliminary data.
It shows low — and consistent — primary turnout from Indiana voters. In the 2024 primary election, just over 17% of voters made their way to the polls. This year just under 17% turned out.
Marion County did see an increase in voters. Almost 15,000 more voters turned out in Marion County compared to the primary election in 2024.
Across the Marion County nearly 100,000 people voted for who they wanted to see on the ballots in the general election. That means about 16% of registered voters made their way to the polls.
In Hamilton County, just over 50,000 residents cast their ballots in the primary. That's roughly 18% of registered voters, 1% lower than in 2024.
