This section contains data on state legislative primary election competitiveness in Indiana. These totals include data from all regularly-scheduled House and Senate elections. For more information about Ballotpedia's competitiveness analysis of state legislative elections, please click here.

Post-filing deadline analysis

The following analysis covers all state legislative districts up for election in Indiana in 2024. Information below was calculated on April 11, 2024, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.

Nine state legislative seats in Indiana were left open by incumbents who did not file to run for re-election. From 2010 to 2024, the average number of retirements per election cycle was 13. The highest number of incumbents who did not run for re-election was 24 in 2012, and the lowest was 7 in 2014.

Of the nine 2024 retirements, eight were in the House, while one was in the Senate. This is the lowest number of Senate incumbents retiring in an election cycle since Ballotpedia began gathering data in 2010. Multiple previous years had two Senate retirements, while the highest in a given year was eight in 2016. The total of eight House retirements is close to the 2010 to 2024 average of 10.

In a partisan breakdown of this year’s retirements, eight were Republicans and one was a Democrat. The average number of retirements by party from 2010 to 2024 was eight for Republicans and five for Democrats.

Open seats

The table below shows the number and percentage of open seats in the Indiana House of Representatives from 2010 to 2024.[2]

Legislative referrals

See also: Legislative referral

A legislative referral, or legislatively referred ballot measure, is a ballot measure that appears on the ballot due to a vote of the state legislature. A legislative referral can be a constitutional amendment, state statute, or bond issue.

As of the 2024 election, a majority vote was required during one legislative session for the Indiana General Assembly to put a constitutional amendment on the ballot. That amounted to a minimum of 51 votes in the Indiana House of Representatives and 26 votes in the Indiana State Senate, assuming no vacancies. Amendments did not require the governor's signature to be referred to the ballot.

At the time of the 2024 election, Republicans held a 40-10 majority in the Senate and a 70-30 majority in the House. Republicans held the minimum votes necessary to put a legislative referral on the ballot without Democratic votes. Republicans needed to lose 15 Senate seats and 20 House seats to lose that ability. Democrats needed to win 16 Senate seats and 21 House seats to pass legislative referrals without Republican votes.

Footnotes

  1. Ballotpedia defines an incumbent as retiring if the incumbent did not file for office or filed for office but withdrew, was disqualified, or otherwise left a race in a manner other than losing the primary, primary runoff, or convention. If an incumbent runs as a write-in candidate, Ballotpedia does not consider them to be retiring. If an incumbent runs in the same chamber for a different seat, Ballotpedia does not consider them to be retiring.
  2. Ballotpedia defines a seat as open if the incumbent did not file to run for re-election or filed but withdrew and did not appear on any ballot for his or her seat. If the incumbent withdrew from or did not participate in the primary but later chose to seek re-election to his or her seat as a third party or independent candidate, the seat would not be counted as open. If the incumbent retired or ran for a different seat in the same chamber, his or her original seat would be counted as open unless another incumbent from the same chamber filed to run for that seat, in which case it would not be counted as open due to the presence of an incumbent.
