Indianapolis, IN, August 26, 2026 —
Indiana voters will have two opportunities to hear from candidates running for the office of Secretary of State in upcoming debates. The events are designed to provide a platform for the candidates to discuss key issues and their platforms ahead of the election.
The first debate is a legislative forum organized by the Indy Chamber. This event is scheduled to take place on August 26 at The Crane Bay Event Center. The specific focus of this forum is expected to be on legislative matters relevant to the role of the Secretary of State.
The second scheduled debate will be a moderated event hosted by the Indiana Debate Commission. This debate is slated for October 7 and will be held at WFYI studios in Indianapolis. Further details regarding the format and specific topics for this debate are anticipated.
These debates will offer voters a chance to compare the candidates directly on their positions regarding the duties and responsibilities of the Indiana Secretary of State, a position that oversees elections, business filings, and other critical state functions. The timing of the debates, with one occurring well in advance of the election and the second closer to Election Day, is intended to inform voters throughout the campaign period.
