Cancellation of caucus meeting.

Chamber Passed·1/23/26

Indiana SB0211 amends caucus meeting rules for local office vacancies.

Indiana SB0211 amends the Indiana Code to modify the rules for caucus meetings when a vacancy occurs in a local office or school board office held by a major party. Specifically, if only one candidate seeks to fill the vacancy, the notice for the caucus meeting can be rescinded and the caucus is not required to meet. The bill also specifies timelines for filling vacancies and holding caucuses, including a 30-day limit for certain circumstances. Effective July 1, 2026.
