Indiana held its general election on November 5, 2024, deciding 125 legislative seats and 3 statewide offices led by the governorship. No chamber changed party control.
Highlights
- Indiana's Republican trifecta renewed itself without drama, extending a Republican hold on the governorship that dates to 2004 and a statewide shutout of Democrats that dates to 2012: U.S. Sen. Mike Braun won the open governorship, Attorney General Todd Rokita was re-elected, and the General Assembly's supermajorities came through unchanged at 70-30 in the House and 40-10 in the Senate.
- Mike Braun (R) beat Jennifer McCormick (D) by about 13 points; McCormick is the former Republican state schools superintendent who split with the party. Libertarian Donald Rainwater (L) finished near five percent. Braun's running mate, pastor Micah Beckwith (R), was not his choice: convention delegates picked Beckwith over the state representative Braun had endorsed. The education news site Chalkbeat noted the win gave the supermajority a clear path to universal school vouchers. Todd Rokita (R) beat Destiny Wells (D) for attorney general by about 17 points.
- The only legislative race in doubt was Zionsville's House District 25, where Rep. Becky Cash (R) was certified the winner by 64 votes over Tiffany Stoner (D); Democrats announced on the filing deadline that they would not seek a recount. Across the 125 legislative races, no seat changed parties, no incumbent was defeated, and 49 seats drew a single candidate.
- About 54 percent of voters approved a constitutional amendment that drops the superintendent of public instruction from the line of succession to the governorship; the office is now an appointed post.
