Good to know
Schedule for STATE LEGISLATIVE candidates (Indiana House/Senate) and other non-statewide candidate committees. STATEWIDE candidates on the 2026 ballot (Secretary of State, Comptroller, Treasurer) file a QUARTERLY schedule instead. All deadlines are 12:00 noon, local prevailing time (a weekend/holiday deadline rolls to noon the next business day). Large single-source contributions ($1,000+) must be reported within 48 hours on Form CFA-11 during the primary (Apr 11 – May 3) and general (Oct 10 – Nov 1) windows — event-driven, not listed here. State candidates must file online; local/judicial candidates file with the county.
Electbase compiles these dates from official state sources as a workflow aid. It is not legal advice. Confirm every deadline with your filing authority before you rely on it.
