Secretary of State Down Ballot Treasurer, Auditor |
 |
Two down ballot state executive positions were up for election in the state of Indiana in 2014. The general election ballot featured candidates for Indiana Treasurer and Indiana Auditor. The general election took place on November 4, 2014.
Suzanne Crouch won re-election to the auditor's office against two other candidates, while the treasurer's office received a new occupant as incumbent Daniel Huge replaced term-limited predecessor Richard Mourdock after the filing deadline. Kelly Mitchell (R) won the election to replace Huge.
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.[1]
