Statewide ballot measures: what your vote means
For each measure: the official ballot title, what a YES vote and a NO vote would do, and what would change, in plain language from official sources. SaveYourState does not take positions on ballot measures.
2 statewide measures are on the ballot. 1 has a “Heads up” note because a YES vote repeals, undoes, or removes something. Official sources checked October 21, 2026.
Public Question #1 · Legislatively referred constitutional amendment
Denying bail for offenses other than murder or treason
Heads up: voting YES on this measure removes the constitutional guarantee that offenses other than murder or treason are bailable, when the stated conditions are met.
A YES vote means:
A person charged with any offense could be denied bail if the proof is evident or the presumption strong and the state proves by clear and convincing evidence that “no release conditions will reasonably protect the safety of any other person or the community.”
A NO vote means:
Only people charged with murder or treason could be denied bail on that basis; other offenses remain bailable.
Public Question #2 · Legislatively referred constitutional amendment
Where city and town court judges may live
A YES vote means:
A city or town court judge could live in the county where the court is located or in the bordering Indiana county closest to the city or town.
A NO vote means:
The current residency requirement for city and town court judges in Article 6, Section 6 stays unchanged.
Two public questions on constitutional amendments. Indiana does not publish official yes/no explanations; explanations are drawn from the public question text and the Election Division’s summary.
