Indiana isn’t the only state with a primary election on Tuesday, May 8.
Contests are also taking place in North Carolina, Ohio and West Virginia.
Republicans are engaged in nomination fights that are pulling the party to the right. And that’s leaving some leaders worried their candidates will be out of a step with the broader electorate in the November election.

Polls in Indiana will be open from 6 a.m. until 6 p.m.
Voters in need of identification can visit an Indiana BMV branch on primary election day.
