Indiana Republicans,
This morning, the Indiana Election Committee held a historic meeting (virtually, of course) and unanimously voted to echo Governor Holcomb's actions last week -- Indiana's primary is moved from May 5 to June 2, 2020.

If you scroll to the appendix of the linked document, you'll find the updated election calendar, which includes important deadlines and dates for Hoosier voters and candidates to watch, including:
Monday, May 4: Voter Registration Deadline
Tuesday, May 5: Early Voting Begins In Person
Friday, May 8: End of Pre-Primary Election Campaign Finance Reporting Period
Thursday, May 14: Traveling Boards Begin
Thursday, May 21: Deadline for a Request for an Absentee By-Mail Ballot to Be Received by the Clerk or Board of Elections and Registration

As we all come together to fight the coronavirus and flatten the curve, it's important to remember that we are all making sacrifices in our lives to keep Hoosiers across the state as healthy and safe as possible. However, COVID-19 should not stop anyone from exercising their right to vote!
