The signature filing deadline for candidates wishing to run in these elections was February 10, 2012 for major party candidates. Third party candidates are required to file to run for election by July 2, 2012. The primary election day was May 8, 2012.
Impact of redistricting
- See also: Redistricting in Indiana
In Indiana, redistricting plans are passed as legislation and signed by the governor. If legislators fail to meet the deadline, as special committee is formed to complete the maps. On April 11, 2011, the Republican-controlled legislature released its proposed redistricting plans. Overall, the plans were thought to benefit state Republicans. In the Indiana House of Representatives, eight of the new districts had no incumbent while 10 were home to two incumbents. Of these 10, three paired Republicans, three paired Democrats, and four paired Republicans and Democrats. While some of these changes may have been politically motivated, demographic changes over the last decade also favored Republicans. 21 of the 30 old house districts that lost population were controlled by Democrats. Prior to final passage on April 27, the legislature modified the house redistricting plan, redrawing a district that paired Democratic incumbents. Governor Mitch Daniels signed the redistricting bill on May 10, 2011.
According to a report in Governing Magazine, the new House map was drawn to make it nearly impossible for Democrats to control the lower chamber.[1]
