U.S. District Court Judge Tanya Walton Pratt will hear Schmitz v Marion County Board of Elections, s.d., 1:19cv-3314, on August 29, Thursday, at 2 pm. This is the case over whether signatures on an independent candidate petition are valid if the signer is a registered voter in the proper jurisdiction, but the address on the signer’s registration record differs from the address used on the petition.

The hearing will determine whether independent candidate John Schmitz will be on the November 2019 ballot for Mayor of Indianapolis.
