State political party conventions have ended, and the list of candidates running for office at the top of Indiana ballots is now finalized. 

Indiana Democrats set their candidate slate on Saturday, while Republicans did the same in June and Libertarians in March. Several key races narrowed down candidate fields through the May primary election. 

With a handful of nominating contests spread across several months, it can be difficult to track who is actually running in the Nov. 5 general election. We’ve got you covered.

Here is a final list of candidates who will appear on your ballot. 

President

Most voters know the ticket will be topped by President Joe Biden, a Democrat, and former President and Republican Donald Trump’s rematch, but for the first time in more than 20 years, it appears Hoosiers will have an independent option. 

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. seems to have secured the necessary 36,943 signatures to qualify for the ballot as an independent candidate.

Green Party candidate Jill Stein also filed for inclusion on the state’s ballot, but it’s unclear whether she had the necessary signatures.

Election officials told State Affairs Tuesday that it will be several days before the signatures for both candidates can be verified and tallied.

Libertarian Chase Oliver will also be on the ballot.

Governor/Lieutenant Governor

Indiana voters weighed in on the governor’s race in the May primary. 

Sen. Mike Braun comfortably defeated five Republican rivals, while former Superintendent of Public Instruction Jennifer McCormick advanced unopposed as the Democratic nominee. 

Noblesville pastor Micah Beckwith bucked tradition by running a year-long campaign for the support of state party delegates, then bested Braun’s handpicked running mate, state Rep. Julie McGuire, for the lieutenant governor nomination at the Indiana Republican Party’s June convention. 

McCormick’s chosen running mate, former state Rep. Terry Goodin, easily secured the nomination at the Indiana Democratic Party’s Saturday convention. 

Libertarians chose their slate at their March convention, choosing gubernatorial nominee Donald Rainwater and lieutenant governor nominee Tonya Hudson.

Indiana voters will thus choose between these three tickets: Braun-Beckwith, McCormick-Goodin and Rainwater-Hudson. 

U.S. Senate

Nominees for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Braun were set by the primary election. 

Rep. Jim Banks claimed the Republican nomination unopposed, while clinical psychologist Valerie McCray defeated former state Rep. Marc Carmichael to claim the Democratic spot. 

They will be joined by Libertarian Andrew Horning on the final ballot. 

Attorney General

The candidates for attorney general were selected by their respective conventions. 

Incumbent Todd Rokita ran unopposed for the Republican selection, while Destiny Wells — a combat veteran and attorney who ran unsuccessfully for Secretary of State in 2022 — defeated Beth White for the Democratic nomination. 

U.S. Congress

All nine of Indiana’s congressional districts are up for election in 2024. For more information on who’s running in your area, check the Indiana Secretary of State’s voter website. 

Indiana General Assembly

Half of the seats in the Indiana Senate and all of the Indiana House of Representatives positions are up for grabs in 2024. Check the Secretary of State’s website for more details.
