On Tuesday, Nov. 3, Hoosiers across the state will cast their ballots in the 2026 general election, deciding races from the Statehouse to local county, township, and school boards.

With early voting now closed, Tuesday is the last chance for most voters to be heard. Here's what you need to know before you go.

Polls open at 6 a.m. and close at 6 p.m. local time statewide. Voters can find their designated polling location at IndianaVoters.com, the state's official voter information portal.

Indiana requires voters to present a government-issued photo ID to cast a regular ballot. Acceptable forms include an Indiana driver's license, state ID card, U.S. passport, or military ID.

Voters will decide a range of races, including candidates for the Indiana General Assembly, county commissioners, county councils, and other local offices. Some local school corporations also have contested races on the ballot.

Election coverage will be live on GIANT fm WTCA — FM 106.1 and AM 1050 — along with MAX 98.3, shortly after 6 p.m. with Rusty Nixon.

Marshall County Democrats will gather at Wild Rose Moon, and county Republicans will meet at The REES to watch results come in Tuesday evening.

Whether it's a constitutional amendment, a school board seat, or a county council race, the outcome of Tuesday's election will shape Indiana and our local communities for years to come. The polls are open. The ballot is ready. All that's left is for Hoosiers to show up.
