Republican Sen. Todd Young is up for reelection this year, but both he and Democratic Senate candidate Thomas McDermott Jr., are unopposed in their respective primary after their opponents failed to get the required number of signatures to make the ballot. That means voters won’t have a choice for the U.S. Senate race on their May primary ballot and will have to check back in this November.
Nine Republicans and three Democrats will be on the May 3rd ballot.
But there are other races on the ballot. Check the Indiana Secretary of State’s office to confirm you are registered to vote, see a sample of your ballot, and find your polling location.
Polls will be open from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.
