Indiana held an election for secretary of state on November 6, 2018.

In Indiana, political parties nominate state executive candidates at their conventions instead of holding a primary. The Republican Party convention took place on June 9, and the Democratic Party convention took place on June 16. Following the convention, the political parties submit their nominations to the state elections board to be certified for the ballot. These nominations had to be submitted by July 16, 2018.[1]

All minor party and independent candidates must file signed petitions of nomination with the Secretary of State's Office in order to be certified for the general election ballot. These petitions had to be submitted by July 16, 2018.[1] Because a Libertarian Party candidate won at least 2 percent but less than 10 percent of the vote cast for Indiana Secretary of State in the last election held for the office in 2014, the party nominated general election candidates during its convention's business meeting on May 5, 2018. Libertarian Party nominations also had to be submitted by July 16, 2018.[1]

SETTING THE STAGE

* Heading into the election, the sitting secretary of state was Connie Lawson (R), who was first appointed to the position in April 2012 following the resignation of Charlie White (R). Lawson was elected to a full term in 2014 and announced on May 4, 2017, that she would seek election to a second full term in 2018.
* At the time of the 2018 election, Indiana was a Republican trifecta. It first gained this status in 2011, when the Republican Party gained a majority in the Indiana House of Representatives. Indiana was a Republican triplex in 2018.
* In the five presidential elections leading up to the 2018 election, Indiana was won by the Republican nominee in 2000, 2004, 2012, and 2016 and by the Democratic nominee in 2008. The widest margin of victory was George W. Bush's 20.7 percent margin in 2004 while the narrowest was Barack Obama's one percent margin in 2008.
