“I think in Hamilton County, a lot of it is the referendums, the school referendums that are on the ballot. We have them in almost every city.”

Beth Sheller, Hamilton County Election Administrator

Statewide, preliminary numbers show 714,724 early in-person ballots, roughly one-third more than in 2022. In Marion County, officials counted about 86,000, a record for a midterm. The county clerk said Sunday the county was at almost 80,000, compared with around 42,500 in 2022. Voting today? We suggest going early.
