Indianapolis, IN, July 22, 2026 —
Lindsey Cornett, a candidate vying for the Indianapolis Public Schools (IPS) Board District 4 seat, is currently facing a challenge that could remove her from the upcoming ballot. The challenge was filed by Bryan Regules and centers on three primary concerns regarding Cornett’s candidacy.
The objections raised by Regules include an allegation that Cornett missed the deadline for filing her candidacy paperwork. Additionally, the challenge questions her affiliation with the Democratic party. A third point of contention is the assertion that Cornett’s petition did not contain a sufficient number of valid signatures from registered voters.
A formal hearing to address these challenges has been scheduled. The Marion County Election Board will convene on July 27 to hear the arguments presented in the case.
The outcome of this hearing will determine whether Cornett remains a candidate for the IPS Board District 4 seat.
