Indiana HB1377 amends the state's election laws to clarify how straight party votes are counted for offices where more than one person may be elected. It repeals provisions that prohibit counting straight party votes for candidates for election to at-large districts. The bill specifies that if a voter votes a straight party ticket and also selects one or more individual candidates for an office to which more than one person may be elected, the individual votes are counted, and the straight party ticket vote is not counted.
