This Presidential Primary coincides with a state/local primary. These coinciding primaries tend to have an impact upon voter turnout. Tuesday 5 May 2020 (presumably): Indiana Primary. Polling hours reportedly 6:00a-6:00p EDT (1000-2200 UTC) / 6:00a-6:00p CDT (1100-2300 UTC). Although a portion of this state is in CT, the majority of the polls are closed by the time indicated ET when the networks feel they can project. Delegate Binding: Winner-Take-All (district and statewide) Primary. Voter Eligibility: Open Primary.
Tuesday 5 May 2020 (presumably): all 57 of Indiana's delegates to the Republican National Convention are allocated to presidential contenders in today's Indiana Presidential Primary.
The 3 party leaders, the National Committeeman, the National Committeewoman, and the chairman of the Indiana's Republican Party, will attend the National Convention by virtue of their position, bound to the presidential contender receiving the greatest number of votes statewide. "A delegate ... shall on the first ballot at the national convention support the candidate who received the highest number of votes ... if the person is ... a candidate at the convention. If the presidential candidate ... is not on the ballot ... the ... delegates are no longer bound." [Rules of the Indiana Republican State Committee. Rule 10-2, 10-6, IC 3-8-3-11]. |
