There’ll be a handful of independent candidates on Indiana’s ballot in November.
Republicans, Democrats, and Libertarians have automatic ballot access, but independents and other third parties must gather petition signatures to qualify for the ballot.
Four independents have met the deadline to do so for Indiana House seats now held by Republicans.
Four Indiana mayors were elected as independents in 2019, but no pure independent has ever cracked double digits in an Indiana congressional race, much less won.
A third-party candidate hasn’t won a General Assembly seat since 1918, nor an Indiana congressional seat since 1884.
