I have maintained the most important elections are local elections, and you cannot get more local than a city election. A nonprofit organization is working to provide easy access to your ballot.
The Indiana Citizen Education Foundation (ICEF) has secured funding with the aim of informing voters about the upcoming municipal election. Funding comes from the Indy Chamber and the Herbert Simon Family Foundation.
“We are very grateful for the support from these two respected, civic-minded organizations that will help us provide voters with a depth and breadth of candidate information they can use to make informed decisions on election day,” said Bill Moreau, ICEF’s president.
The Indy Chamber will actively promote the voter guide to its 6,500 business members through several communications channels. The Herbert Simon Family Foundation has authorized part of a generous racial justice grant to publicize the voter guide to communities of color throughout Central Indiana.
The virtual ballot available online includes a candidate’s biographical information, social media posts, contact information, an incumbent’s key votes, news coverage, campaign finance reports and positions on key issues. In addition to the virtual ballot, the website allows voters to confirm their registration and review stories on key political issues by Indiana Citizen journalists.

A 501(c)(3) public charity, ICEF operates The Indiana Citizen as a nonpartisan, non-profit
platform dedicated to increasing the number of informed, engaged Hoosier citizens.
Great Information! All should be aware that you should vote only for the candidates you want. One does not have to vote for three candidates for the at Large seats – if you like two of them don’t vote for the third – it makes your best candidate less likely to win the vote
