🗳️ What’s on Your November 3, 2026 Ballot?

In addition to federal, state, and local candidates, Indiana voters will be asked to vote on two statewide public questions this November.

Public Question 1
This proposed constitutional amendment would allow judges to deny bail to certain defendants charged with crimes (other than murder or treason) when:
• The evidence is strong,
• The defendant poses a substantial risk to another person or the community, and
• No conditions of release would reasonably protect public safety.

Public Question 2
This proposed constitutional amendment would allow city and town court judges to live either in the county where their court is located or in an adjoining county, rather than requiring residence only in the county where the court is located.

📍 At this time, no local public questions have been certified for Jackson County for the November 3, 2026 General Election. If any local public questions are added before ballot certification, we will share that information here.

As Election Day approaches, the Jackson County Clerk’s Office will continue providing nonpartisan information to help voters understand what will appear on their ballot.

📚 Annual State Clerks Conference

This week, myself and my deputies had the opportunity to attend the Annual State Clerks Conference alongside clerks and court professionals from across Indiana. These conferences provide valuable training, updates on legislative and procedural changes, and opportunities to share ideas and best practices with colleagues from around the state.

Continuing education is an important part of ensuring the Jackson County Clerk’s Office provides accurate, efficient, and professional service to our community. We look forward to bringing back new knowledge and resources that will help us better serve the citizens of Jackson County.
