Party labels are as filed with the Indiana Election Division (R = Republican, D = Democrat, I = Independent, L = Libertarian). Judges of most circuit and superior courts run on party tickets in Indiana; Allen and Vanderburgh superior court and some other judges are nonpartisan, and school board candidates may file with or without a party. Candidates marked write-in filed a declaration of intent to be a write-in and are not printed on the ballot.
School board, town and city races that the state list does not tie to a county are placed using Ballotpedia's county page; a school district or town that crosses county lines appears in each county it covers. Seat counts (Vote for N) come from Ballotpedia or state law (township boards elect three members) and are marked "see your ballot" when unknown.
U.S. House, State Senate and State House races depend on your address; they are listed on the Election Division candidate list. Check your districts and ballot at Indiana Voters (Election Division voter portal).
One candidate per seat on the list (write-ins may still be possible).
