STATEMENT OF THE
LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS OF INDIANA
IN OPPOSITION TO BALLOT QUESTION #1

The League of Women Voters of Indiana is opposed to Public Question #1 on the November 3, 2026, ballot based on the League’s long-standing position on Pretrial Release.

Voters are being asked to amend the Constitution of the State of Indiana, Article I, Section 17 relating to Bail. Article I is the Indiana Bill of Rights.

Amending it to reduce citizens’ rights should not be taken lightly.

Liberties given away now are not easily reclaimed in the future.

2025 Indiana Civic Health Index
This newest edition of the Indiana Bar Foundation’s Indiana Civic Health Index (INCHI) takes stock of Indiana’s successes and shortcomings during the past decade and defines action steps to ensure Indiana becomes a national leader in civic health.

This latest INCHI looks at new data from the 2024 election cycle as well as additional data demonstrating other areas of our state’s civic health as we look forward to the national elections in 2026. The insights gained by examining Hoosiers’ participation in civic life from 2010 to the present will inform and motivate citizens and leaders alike to build a culture of civic engagement that enhances our economic, social, and political well being.

LWVIN is a partner in the Indiana Civics Coalition.
