The Indiana Election Commission may consider conducting this year’s primary election entirely by mail-in ballot. During state officials’ press conference Thursday, Governor Eric Holcomb said he’s in constant contact with Secretary of State Connie Lawson, and she’s been in contact with the state chairs of both major parties.
“This has come up, obviously, in discussions with the state election commission and they’ll have some recommendations,” Holcomb said, “but right now, I’m waiting for them to make a specific recommendation on how we can safety and securely carry out, not just our June 2, but our November election.”
The primary has already been pushed back 28 days due to COVID-19. The state has also opened up mail-in voting to all eligible voters for the primary. The Indiana Election Commission is scheduled to meet on April 22.
