On August 23, John Schmitz, an independent candidate for Mayor of Indianapolis, filed this reply brief in Schmitz v Marion County Board of Elections. The issue is whether he had enough valid signatures. That depends on whether signatures of registered voters should be counted if the voter had moved within the city, and showed his or her new residence address on the petition, whereas the registration record still lists the old address.

A decision is expected soon, due to the fact that the election is November 5, 2019.
