INDIANAPOLIS – The candidates filing deadline for the Indiana 2024 Primary Election in May is quickly approaching with five days left to file.
A press release by the Secretary of State’s office said that those wishing to be on the Democrat or Republican primary ballot must file their declaration of candidacy paperwork by noon on Friday, February 9.
Those that wish to file as Minor Party, Independent, School Board, and Write-In will file declarations of candidacy for the November General Election later in the year, after the May Primary Election is held.
“It’s been great welcoming candidates into the Secretary of State’s Office as they officially file their candidacy. In the final week of filing, it’s important to make candidates aware of the approaching deadline. The 2024 Election season is starting off strong as we are anticipating a massive turnout,” said Indiana Secretary of State Diego Morales in the press release shared last Friday.
Filing for the Indiana 2024 Primary Election started on January 10. Candidates filing for federal, statewide, state legislative and judicial offices including county prosecuting attorneys will file with the Indiana Secretary of State or the Indiana Election Division during business hours of 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., up until noon on February 9.
Candidates for non-judicial county offices, township offices, town offices, school board offices, precinct committeeman or state convention delegate, file their declaration of candidacy at the office of the County Clerk.
Under Indiana law, election officials are prohibited from accepting filings after the deadline of noon, February 9.
