Indiana Bill for Secrecy of Which Party's Primary Ballot is Chosen

Indiana currently does not have registration by party. On primary day, voters ask for any particular party’s primary ballot. Representative Dan Stevenson (D-Highland) has introduced HB 1404. It would provide that a primary voter decides in the secrecy of the voting booth which party’s primary to vote in. As before, though, a voter could only vote in one party’s primary.
