Election Day live updates from Indiana: What to know before you head to the polls
IndyStar reporters will spend Election Day talking to voters, candidates and poll workers. Follow along from the polls open to close and check back for race results this evening.
Marion County early voting turnout strong compared to 2019 municipal election
As of Monday afternoon, 33,498 residents in Marion County had voted early, according to data compiled by the Marion County Clerk’s office. That’s nearly three times the 11,826 who voted early for the 2019 municipal election. (Due to a city holiday, there was one less day of early voting availability this year than in the 2019 election cycle.)
Statewide, voter turnout in the 2019 municipal general election was just 23%, according to data provided by the Secretary of State’s office, with 153,518 Hoosiers voting absentee, which includes early votes. In Marion County, 153,933 residents voted, and 34,618 voted in Hamilton County.

Indianapolis mayoral election is one to watch in Marion County
Incumbent Democrat Joe Hogsett is seeking a third term from voters, facing former Republican City-County Councilor Jefferson Shreve in a race that could come down to voters’ attitudes regarding Hogsett’s response to crime in the city.
This has been Indianapolis’ most expensive mayoral race ever, with Shreve donating $13.5 million to his own campaign. If reelected, Hogsett will become the only Indianapolis mayor other than Republican Bill Hudnut to serve more than two terms since 1970.

Other races of importance in Marion County include the Indianapolis City-County Council. All 25 seats on the council are up for reelection this year after Democrats took all but five of the seats in the last city election.

Voters will cast ballots in new council districts for the first time following a 2022 redistricting process that was seen as being more favorable to Republicans, particularly on the city’s south side.

Carmel mayoral election is marquee race in Hamilton County
Republican Sue Finkham and Democrat Miles Nelson are running to succeed longtime Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard, who did not seek reelection this year for the first time in over two decades. Darin Johnson, a write-in candidate, is also running for mayor, but his name will not appear on ballots.
Finkam and Nelson are both members of the Carmel City Council, where Finkam has served three terms and Nelson is in his first term.

In other Hamilton County races, voters will decide whether Democrats will make any major gains in traditionally red communities or whether Republicans will maintain majorities. In Carmel, Nelson’s city council district is the only one currently represented by a Democrat. Seven Democrats are running for council seats this year.
In Fishers, seven Democrats, including two incumbents, are running for district and at-large council seats in addition to a contested clerk election.

Three Johnstown men face charges connected with an incident in Indiana Borough early Sunday morning.
Indiana Borough Police say 19-year-old Anthony Edwards-Grover, 20-year-old Dondre Dickinson and 22-year-old Amari Eure are charged with criminal mischief and disorderly conduct while Edwards-Grover and Dickinson also are charged with terroristic threats for the incident in the 200 block of South 7th Street. After police broke up the crowd there, officers discovered that Edwards-Grover and Dickinson threatened a group of people in and out of the home by brandishing knives after they were told to leave a party. When outside, Eure joined the two in throwing rocks at the house to provoke a physical altercation.
The three were found and charged, with Edwards-Grover and Dickinson taken into custody and Eure released from the scene.
