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.

Footnotes
- ↑ 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.
