Incumbents who were not re-elected
Incumbents defeated in general elections
One incumbent lost in the Nov. 8 general election.
| Name | Party | Office |

Incumbents defeated in primary elections
Five incumbents were defeated in the May 3 primaries, the largest number since at least 2012. Two of the defeated incumbents—Jeff Ellington and Curt Nisly—lost to other incumbents after being drawn into the same district following Indiana's redistricting process.
Retiring incumbents

| Name | Party | Office | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| Douglas Gutwein | House District 16 | Retired | |

Primary election competitiveness
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 2022. Information below was calculated on Feb. 23, 2022, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.
In 2022, 258 candidates filed to run for Indiana's 125 state legislative districts: 84 Democrats and 174 Republicans.
As of the candidate filing deadline, 51 primary elections were scheduled because more than one candidate filed for a party's nomination. This represented 20% of the possible 250, the largest percentage of contested primary elections in Indiana since at least 2014.
The increase in primaries compared to recent election cycles was driven by the 42 Republican contests, a 75% increase over 2020. Nine contested Democratic primaries were also scheduled, a 55% decrease from the previous cycle.
Other takeaways from Indiana's candidate filing deadline can be found below:
- Fifteen of the 125 districts holding elections (12%) were left open, meaning no incumbent filed to run in them.
- Five of those open districts were due to redistricting as incumbents were drawn into new districts, leaving their old ones open. Six incumbents—all Republicans—filed to run in different districts than the ones they were elected to in 2020. Four of those incumbents filed to run against other Republican incumbents in contested primaries.
- One hundred and fourteen incumbents filed for re-election—31 Democrats and 83 Republicans. Thirty-three incumbents (29%) were scheduled to face primary challengers, the largest percentage since at least 2014. This includes two Democratic incumbents and 31 Republicans.
Open seats
The table below shows the number and percentage of open seats in the Indiana House of Representatives from 2010 to 2022.[2]
| Open Seats in Indiana House of Representatives elections: 2010 - 2022 | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Year | Total seats | Open seats | Seats with incumbents running for re-election |
| 2022 | 100 | 11 (11 percent) | 89 (89 percent) |
| 2020 | 100 | 7 (7 percent) | 92 (92 percent) |
| 2018 | 100 | 12 (12 percent) | 88 (88 percent) |
| 2016 | 100 | 10 (10 percent) | 90 (90 percent) |
| 2014 | 100 | 3 (3 percent) | 97 (97 percent) |
| 2012 | 100 | 19 (19 percent) | 81 (81 percent) |
| 2010 | 100 | 7 (7 percent) | 93 (93 percent) |
Incumbents running in new districts
When an incumbent files to run for re-election in the same chamber but a new district, it leaves his or her original seat open. This may happen for a variety of reasons ranging from redistricting to a change in residences. This may result in instances where multiple incumbents face each other in contested primaries or general elections if the incumbent in the new district also seeks re-election. In 2022, three incumbents filed to run for re-election in new districts different from those they represented before the election. Those incumbents were:
| Incumbents running in new districts | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Name | Party | Originally represented ... | Filed in 2022 in ... | New district open? | ||
| David Abbott | House District 82 | House District 18 | Yes | |||
| Craig Snow | House District 18 | House District 22 | No | |||
| Jeff Ellington | House District 62 | House District 45 | No | |||

Footnotes
- ↑ 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.
- ↑ 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.
