Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris and Republican former President Donald Trump will compete for Indiana’s 11 electoral votes on Election Day, with a full slate of other federal and state races rounding out the ballot. Two of the state’s top elected leadership positions will change hands after the Nov. 5 general election, with no incumbents running for governor or U.S. senator.
Republican presidential nominees have carried Indiana in 13 of the last 14 presidential elections. The lone exception was 2008, when then-Sen. Barack Obama became the first Democrat to win the Hoosier State since President Lyndon Johnson. The state has not been competitive since. Neither Harris nor Trump have campaigned there since officially becoming their parties’ nominees. Harris did address members of the historically Black sorority Zeta Phi Beta in Indianapolis on July 24, just three days after her former running mate, President Joe Biden, dropped out of the race.
Most polls in the state close at 6 p.m. Eastern — the earliest closing time in the country. Votes will be counted in contested races after all polls close in Indiana at 7 p.m. Eastern. See statewide election results here.
