Indiana Representative Ryan Dvorak (D-South Bend) has again introduced his bill to greatly ease ballot access. He introduced the same bill in 2022 and 2024. It lowers the statewide petition for independent candidates, and the nominees of unqualified parties, from 2% of the last vote for Secretary of State, to exactly 250 signatures. It also lowers the definition of a ballot-qualified party from one that polled 2% for Secretary of State at the last election, to a group that polled at least 2,500 votes for its candidate for Secretary of State.
