Secretary of State Diego Morales announced that candidate filing for the 2026 Primary Election in Indiana begins this week.

There's at least a better chance that Vanderburgh County voters will know who won local elections on the same day they vote next year, unlike 2024.

County offices up this year are judgeships for Johnson Superior Courts 2, 3 and 4; prosecutor, Circuit and Superior Court Clerk; auditor; recorder; sheriff; assessor; District 2 county commissioner and Districts 1 through 4 for the county council.
