State

Indiana General Assembly races are the state-level contests on the May 5, 2026 primary ballot. Indiana’s statewide executive offices (Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Attorney General, Secretary of State, Treasurer, Comptroller) are nominated at party conventions, not primaries — so none of them appear on May 5.
