(NEWSnet/AP) — The race for the White House tops the primary ballot Tuesday in Indiana, where voters will also see competitive races for governor, Congress and the state legislature.

President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump already have enough delegates to secure their respective parties’ presidential nominations and have both won almost every primary and caucus by overwhelming margins.

Indiana has an open primary system, which means any registered voter may participate in either party’s primary. But any cross-party interest is likely to make little difference, and there is not an option to list “uncommitted” as some states do.

Biden is the sole name listed in the Democratic primary.

The Republican primary will feature Trump, the only active candidate, and former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley, who suspended her campaign in March.

Indiana is not expected to be competitive in the presidential election, where the Republican candidate historically wins the vote. Trump carried the state twice with 57% of the vote.

Also on Tuesday, Indiana voters will decide a crowded six-way Republican primary to replace term-limited GOP Gov. Eric Holcomb.

The field features first-term U.S. Sen. Mike Braun, who has Trump’s backing, former state Commerce Secretary Brad Chambers, Lt. Gov. Suzanne Crouch, former state economic official Eric Doden, former state Attorney General Curtis Hill and conservative activist Jamie Reitenour.

With Braun running for governor, Republicans have coalesced behind U.S. Rep. Jim Banks to replace him in the U.S. Senate. His Democratic opponent in November will be either former state representative and trade association executive Marc Carmichael or psychologist Valerie McCray.

The most notable of the U.S. House races on the ballot Tuesday are competitive Republican primaries in the 3rd Congressional District, which Banks is giving up to run for Senate, as well as the 5th, 6th and 8th Districts.

Half of Indiana’s 50 state Senate seats and all 100 state House seats are also up for election this year.

The last polls close at 7 p.m. ET, although most polls close at 6 p.m. ET. Indiana is in both the Eastern and the Central time zones.
