Indiana Secretary of State

A close race for Indiana's secretary of state ended in a win for Democrat Beau Bayh. Republican Max Engling conceded late Tuesday night.

In a surprising upset, Indiana voters in the 5th Congressional District elected Democratic State Sen. J.D. Ford to the office, ousting three-time incumbent Republican Victoria Spartz.

Big figures in Indiana politics weighed in Monday on the secretary of state race just before Election Day. Former Gov. Evan Bayh and current Gov. Mike Braun each made stops in support of their respective candidates.

Greg Ballard took the Indiana Election Commission to court Friday, arguing that they need to hear campaign finance complaints before election day.

President Donald Trump endorses Max Engling for Secretary of State. His endorsements helped oust a number of Republicans during the state primaries earlier this year.

A former Republican candidate for secretary of state wants to hold the office accountable. He’s joining a lawsuit and has been tapped to audit the office by Democrat Beau Bayh.

The lawsuit urges the commission to meet and investigate campaign complaints.

Indiana secretary of state candidates met at WFYI’s studios Wednesday to debate key issues facing the office ahead of election day.

Indiana voters this November will choose from four candidates in the secretary of state race. The office oversees the state's elections, maintains state records, charters new businesses and more.

Voter advocacy groups gathered at the Indiana statehouse Tuesday to call for secretary of state candidates to endorse a number of voter proposals, including keeping Indiana’s primaries open.
