Candidates seeking public office can file their declarations of candidacy for the 2020 Primary Election beginning today.
Candidates for federal or state office will file with the Secretary of State or Indiana Election Division.
And local candidates will file with the county election board.
Filing will remain open until noon local time on Friday, February 7.
“Free elections sit at the foundation of our republic, and I congratulate those individuals who have made the decision to run for public office,” said Secretary Lawson. “I encourage all candidates to pay careful attention to the policies and deadlines set forth by the laws of our state, and to file the appropriate documents sooner rather than later to avoid unnecessary mistakes and ensure an easy and efficient process for all parties involved.”
The Secretary of State’s Office is located in Room 201 of the Indiana Statehouse, 200 West Washington Street, Indianapolis. The Election Division is located in Room E-204 of the Indiana Government Center, 302 West Washington Street, Indianapolis. Offices are open from 8:00 a.m. -4:30 p.m.
