Two down ballot state executive positions were up for election in the state of Indiana in 2014. The general election ballot featured candidates for Indiana Treasurer and Indiana Auditor. The general election took place on November 4, 2014.

Suzanne Crouch won re-election to the auditor's office against two other candidates, while the treasurer's office received a new occupant as incumbent Daniel Huge replaced term-limited predecessor Richard Mourdock after the filing deadline. Kelly Mitchell (R) won the election to replace Huge.

A primary election is an election in which registered voters select a candidate that they believe should be a political party's candidate for elected office to run in the general election. They are also used to choose convention delegates and party leaders. Primaries are state-level and local-level elections that take place prior to a general election. Indiana law requires a closed primary, where a voter must be affiliated with a party to vote in that party's primary. This includes if they voted for a majority of that party’s candidates in the last general election or plan to in the upcoming election. However, it is possible for any voter to vote in any party's primary so long as they meet this criteria.[1]
