Politics & Government in Indiana

[edit]

Spring 2023 is an important time in local and state politics across Indiana. The Indiana General Assembly Spring 2023 session has been busy with many high-profile bills. The session wraps at the end of April, and municipal elections take place across Indiana on May 2, 2023 (early voting is already under way).

Join us as we edit local political and government topics of interest, to improve quality information about local officials, candidates, elections, and legislation.
