Indiana HB1133 eliminates the option to vote a straight party ticket in general and municipal elections.

Indiana HB1133 repeals provisions allowing voters to cast a straight party ticket in general and municipal elections. This means voters must individually select each candidate they wish to vote for, rather than choosing all candidates from a single political party. The bill also removes instructions for voting a straight party ticket from ballots and repeals related statutes. These changes take effect on July 1, 2026.
