Republican Party primary elections were held in Indiana on May 8, 2018, to select the party's nominees for the U.S. Senate, all nine of the state's seats in the U.S. House of Representatives, 25 out of the 50 seats in the Indiana State Senate, all 100 seats in the Indiana House of Representatives, and other statewide races.

Noteworthy elections included the U.S. Senate race, where former state Rep. Mike Braun (R) defeated U.S. Reps. Luke Messer (R-Ind.) and Todd Rokita (R-Ind.).

Washington Examiner called the race “one of the year’s most brutal, pitting two former classmates and current congressional colleagues against each other.”[1] Added to the mix was Braun, a self-funding businessman who characterized his opponents as carbon copies of one another and career politicians.

Republicans maintained their trifecta in the state—controlling the governorship and both chambers of the state legislature. They had held the trifecta for seven years prior to the election. They had a 70-30 majority in the state House and a 40-9 majority in the state Senate.

National background

Primary elections—in which registered voters select a candidate whom they believe should run on the party's ticket in the general election—can reflect internal conflict over the direction of a party.

Heading into the 2018 election, the Republican Party's legislative record during Donald Trump’s presidency figured into several Republican primaries. This record included the passage of major tax legislation in December 2017 and the confirmation of federal judges. It also included a $1.3 trillion omnibus spending bill in March 2018, which Trump opposed, and unsuccessful efforts to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act.[2][3]

Trump, himself, also played a role in Republican primaries. His approval rating reached 90% in June among self-described Republicans, according to a Gallup survey.[4] Many Republican candidates campaigned on their support for Trump, and negative ads accusing opponents of criticizing the president were common.[5][6][7] A May report found Trump's name or image had appeared in 37% of all Republican campaign ads at that point in 2018.[8]

This page focuses on the Republican primaries that took place in Indiana on May 8, 2018. In addition, the page provides context for understanding the state party apparatus.

The filing deadline for candidates seeking to participate in these primaries was February 9, 2018.

The 2018 U.S. House of Representatives elections in Indiana took place on November 6, 2018. Voters elected 9 candidates to serve in the U.S. House, one from each of the state's 9 congressional districts. Heading into the 2018 elections, seven of the state's nine seats in the U.S. House of Representatives were held by the Republican Party, while the remaining two were held by the Democratic Party. Of the seven Republican members of the state's delegation, two—Todd Rokita and Luke Messer—have declared that they will not seek re-election due to their participation in the U.S. Senate primary election. This means that the incumbent is participating in five out of the nine U.S. House primaries. A full list of primary elections and declared candidates follows.

State Sen. Mike Delph faced a primary challenge from former Carmel Redevelopment Director Corrie Meyer. According to Indianapolis Business Journal commentator Mickey Maurer, Delph's socially conservative views on same-sex marriage, LGBTQ issues, abortion, and the separation of church and state were why he drew a challenge from Meyer, who he said, "prefers to focus on business issues."[10] Peter Heck wrote in The Christian Post that Meyer's candidacy was backed by business organizations and LGBTQ groups and that Maurer's editorial was "demonizing Delph for his Christianity."[11] The Indianapolis Chamber and a number of local mayors backed Meyer's campaign; Indiana Right to Life endorsed Delph.[12]

Primary election scheduling

Voter information

How the primary works

A primary election is an election in which registered voters select a candidate that they believe should be a political party's candidate for elected office to run in the general election. They are also used to choose convention delegates and party leaders. Primaries are state-level and local-level elections that take place prior to a general election. Indiana utilizes an open primary system. Voters are not required to register with a party, but state statutes stipulate that citizens vote in the primary of the party they have voted for most often in the past.[15]

For information about which offices are nominated via primary election, see this article.

Poll times

In Indiana, polls are open from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. local time on the date of an election. An individual who is in line at the time polls close must be allowed to vote.[16]

Registration requirements

Check your voter registration status here.

To register to vote in Indiana, an individual must be a U.S. citizen who has resided in the precinct in which the individual will be voting for at least 30 days preceding the next election. The individual must be at least 18 years old by the time of the next general or municipal election. Proof of residence is required to register.[17] Registration can be completed online, by mail, or in person.[18] The deadline to register to vote is 29 days before the next election.[19]

Prospective voters can register in person at the following locations:

1) a Bureau of Motor Vehicles (“BMV”) license branch while applying for or renewing a driver’s license, permit, or identification card;
2) a public assistance office while applying for services;
3) certain agencies serving persons with disabilities while applying for assistance;

Automatic registration

Indiana has implemented an online voter registration system. Residents can register to vote by visiting this website.

Same-day registration

Indiana does not allow same-day voter registration.

Residency requirements

Indiana law requires 30 days of residency in a precinct before a person may vote.

Verification of citizenship

See also: Laws permitting noncitizens to vote in the United States

Indiana does not require proof of citizenship for voter registration.

Verifying your registration

The Indiana Secretary of State website allows residents to check their voter registration status online.

Voter ID requirements

Indiana requires voters to present photo identification at the polls. The following list of criteria for accepted photo ID was current as of April 2023.[21]

Under Indiana Code 3-5-2-40.5, which defines "proof of identification", your photo ID must meet 4 criteria to be acceptable for voting purposes. It Must:

1. Display your photo.

2. Display your name, and the name must conform to your voter registration record. Conform does not mean identical. Below are examples of names that would conform to "Robert John Crew": Robert John Crew, Robert J. Crew, Robert Crew, R. John Crew, R. J. Crew, Bob John Crew, Bob J. Crew, Bob Crew, John Crew, or J. Crew.

3. Display an expiration date and either be current or have expired sometime after the date of the last General Election (November 6, 2018). NOTE: An ID issued by the US Department of Defense, a branch of the uniformed services, the Merchant Marine, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (or Veterans Administration), or the Indiana National Guard is not required to have an expiration date, or may state that the document has an "Indefinite" expiration date.

4. Be issued by the State of Indiana or the U.S. government. In most cases, an Indiana driver license, Indiana photo ID card, Military ID or U.S. Passport is sufficient. A student ID from an Indiana State school may only be used if it meets all of the 4 criteria specified above. A student ID from a private institution may not be used for voting purposes.[21][20]

A voter can obtain a free Indiana identification card from the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles.[22]

Voters who are "indigent, those with a religious objection to being photographed, and those living in state-licensed facilities that serve as their precinct's polling place" can claim an exemption from the voter identification law. If the voter is claiming an exemption based on indigence or a religious objection, the voter can cast a provisional ballot on Election Day and visit the county election office within 10 days to claim the exemption. A voter who is a resident of a state-licensed facility can claim the exemption at the polls on Election Day.[23]

Early voting

Indiana permits early voting. Learn more by visiting this website. Indiana refers to early voting as voting absentee-in-person.[24]

Early voting permits citizens to cast ballots in person at a polling place prior to an election. In states that permit no-excuse early voting, a voter does not have to provide an excuse for being unable to vote on Election Day. States that allow voters to cast no-excuse absentee ballots in person are counted as no-excuse early voting states.


Absentee voting

An individual is eligible to vote absentee by mail in an election if he or she cannot make it to the polls on the day of an election for one of the following reasons:[24]

  1. The voter has "a specific, reasonable expectation" that he or she will be absent from his or her home county on Election Day during the entire voting period.
  2. The voter is disabled.
  3. The voter is 65 years of age or older.
  4. The voter will be responsible for official election duties outside of his or her voting precinct.
  5. The voter is scheduled to work during the entire voting period.
  6. The voter will "be confined due to illness or injury" or "will be caring for an individual confined due to illness or injury" during the entire voting period.
  7. The voter is prevented from voting during the regular voting period due to religious reasons.
  8. The voter is a participant in the state's address confidentiality program.
  9. The voter is a military service member or public safety officer.
  10. The voter is a "serious sex offender" as defined in Indiana Code 35-42-4-14(a).
  11. The voter is prevented from voting due to the unavailability of transportation to the polls.

A request to vote absentee must be received by the appropriate official at least eight days prior to the election. The ballot must then be returned by close of polls on Election Day.[24]
