Indianapolis voters are deciding who will represent them at the Indiana Statehouse.
The polls closed at 6 p.m. today.
There are three state Senate races for districts that include Indianapolis on the ballot this year. Only two have multiple candidates. Democrat Allissa Impink was unopposed in District 46, which covers parts of downtown and the near east side.
There are seven competitive races for seats that include Indianapolis in the state House of Representatives.
State senators serve four-year terms and state reps service two-year terms.
Ruckelshaus vs. Moorhead in Indiana Senate District 29
Republican John Ruckelshaus is facing Democrat Kristina Moorhead in the westside Senate district.
He previously represented neighboring District 30 from 2016 to 2020 before losing to Fady Qaddoura, an Indianapolis Democrat. Ruckelshaus’s campaign priorities include lowering income and property taxes.
Moorhead most recently worked as a deputy vice president and lobbyist for the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America. She campaigned on increasing funding for public education and improving access to reproductive rights.
The winner will replace Democrat J.D. Ford, who is running against Republican incumbent Victoria Spartz to represent Indiana’s 5th congressional district in the U.S. House of Representatives. Ford was elected to the District 29 seat in 2018.
Albright vs. Forestal in Indiana Senate District 31
Republican Juanita Albright is facing Democrat Kerry Forestal in the northeast Senate district that includes part of Lawrence.

Forestal is the Marion County sheriff, a position he was elected to in 2018. He has campaigned on lowering healthcare costs, making childcare affordable and holding utility companies accountable.
The winner will replace Republican Kyle Walker, a former Marion County GOP chairman who was first elected to the Statehouse in 2020. He announced in 2025 that he wouldn’t seek reelection after opposing the mid-decade redistricting push that ultimately failed.
