2020 May Primary

Indiana recently closed the book on maybe the most unusual election in its history -- a primary, delayed by a month, that featured expanded vote-by-mail.

Despite worries about COVID-19's impact on the economy, voters appear to be supporting funding proposals from school corporations across Indiana.

Nearly 550,000 voters requested mail-in ballots -- more than 10 times the number of those ballots cast during the 2016 primary, after coronavirus concerns prompted officials to delay the primary from its original May 5 date.

The Indiana Election Commission says counties must finish counting all absentee ballots by noon on June 12.

Long, socially distanced lines were seen at Marion Countys 22 polling locations on Election Day. Numerous changes were introduced to the voting experience Tuesday because of COVID-19.

More than a dozen school districts are seeking voter approval for referendum funding during today's primary election, and leaders and school officials say the pandemic has changed how they talk about their proposals.

Indiana is among the states and the District of Columbia with primaries on Tuesday. Pennsylvania offers the days biggest trove of presidential delegates.

State Sen. Victoria Spartz won the Republican nomination to replace GOP Rep. Susan Brooks in Indiana's congressional district. Former state Rep. Christina Hale of Indianapolis won the Democratic primary.

Election results started to trickle in Tuesday night in Marion County, but counting the more than 122,000 absentee ballots will take time.

Election Day will look a lot different in Marion County this year. There are concerns about the record number of mail-in ballots, a lack of resources and limited in person voting locations.
