Here Is Your 2019 SEI Municipal Election Lineup

Voters in local cities and towns will have these candidates to choose from on November 5.

(Undated) - The election lineup for this November in southeastern Indiana is just about set.

Deadlines for political parties to hold conventions to fill vacant positions on the November 5, 2019 municipal election ballot is August 21. However, most local cities and towns have already selected their candidates through either the May primary election or a party convention.

In Lawrenceburg, there will be a three-way race for mayor between Republican incumbent Kelly Mollaun, Democratic city councilman Aaron Cook, and teenaged independent candidate Dylan Liddle.

Aurora’s mayoral race is between Republican city councilman Mark Drury and Democrat Mel Kremer, Jr., a business owner and former city councilman.

Two local mayors are uncontested for the fall election. Independent Alan Weiss in Greendale and Republican Mike Bettice in Batesville are both shoe-ins for a second term at this point.

A party convention is being held in the Town of Vevay Tuesday evening, August 20. That town's candidates will be listed below when received. 

Unless listed below, other towns with populations less than 3,500 will not have races on the ballot. No party conventions were held in those towns, leaving the town board and clerk-treasurer selection up to the town boards.

Early in-person absentee voting in Indiana will open on October 8.
