The 2018 Indiana Secretary of State election was held on November 6, 2018, to elect the Secretary of State of Indiana, concurrently with elections to the United States Senate, U.S. House of Representatives, and other state and local elections. Primary elections were held on May 8, 2018, though both the Republican and Democratic nominees were selected via a convention.
First appointed as the Secretary of State of Indiana in March 2012 after Charles White was expelled from office, incumbent Republican secretary Connie Lawson comfortably won re-election to a second full term in office against Democratic nominee Jim Harper. Election security was a key issue throughout the campaign. There were reports of significant election irregularities and errors at several polling locations across Indiana on Election Day.
The Green and Pirate parties did not qualify outright for the ballot, but ran write-in candidates instead. Lawson would go on to resign as Secretary of State in March 2021, with Holli Sullivan being appointed as an interim secretary of state until the next election.
