Sign up for Chalkbeat Indiana’s free daily newsletter to keep up with Indianapolis Public Schools, Marion County’s township districts, and statewide education news.Indianapolis Public Schools board candidate Lindsey Cornett has listed herself as a Democrat on the ballot, but has not met the state voting requirements to do so, Marion County voting records show.The voting record for Cornett, who is running as one of two candidates in IPS District 4, shows she has voted once in a Democratic primary in Indiana, in the May 2026 primary. Under changes to state law that go into effect this year, candidates for school board elections can list a party affiliation. But in order to do so, they must have voted in two of that party’s primaries in the state, or get permission from the county party leader to identify with a party on the ballot.Cornett’s voting record, which Chalkbeat obtained from the Marion County Board of Voters Registration, indicates she has voted only once in an Indiana Democratic primary in Indiana, in May of this year. She also voted in general elections.In a statement Friday, Cornett said that at the time she filed to run, she believed that she had voted in the last two primary elections in Indiana, but added that, “I have since learned that while I had voted in the Democratic party primary in 2026, I had not voted in the 2024 primary. Because I believed I qualified as a Democrat, I did not seek certification from the county chair.” Cornett added that she was a proud Democrat, but would run as an unaffiliated candidate if necessary. Both Cornett and the other District 4 candidate, Chris Bultman, have had their listings as Democrats on the ballot challenged this summer. Bultman, who currently represents District 4 on the IPS board as an appointed member, has voted in multiple Democratic primaries as well as general elections, according to county records. But the challenge to his candidacy hinges on an interpretation that his voting history still does not entitle him to list himself as a Democrat.What happens next is likely up to the Marion County Elections Board. At the end of last month, the board opted to postpone hearing the challenge to Cornett’s candidacy after subsequently receiving a challenge to Bultman’s candidacy. The outcome could be one of the earliest decisions by an Indiana elections board regarding partisan school board candidates. This is the first election cycle in which the law about partisan school board races will be in effect.Bultman’s voting record shows that the two most recent Democratic primaries he voted in were in 2026 and 2020. The challenge to his candidacy from Isaiah Tworek hinges on whether that is sufficient. According to the new law that allows partisan school board elections, the candidate must have voted in the two most recent primary elections held by that party, in order to affiliate with that party on the ballot. Tworek’s challenge to Bultman’s affiliation is based on this language. But the Indiana Election Division interprets the new law to mean that candidates must have voted for the party with which they seek affiliation in the most recent primary elections they voted in — not the most recent overall. That same language is on a form that candidates must fill out to run for school board. If the elections board strips a candidate of their party affiliation, it’s not yet clear if they could stay on the ballot without a party affiliation. Candidates without that affiliation are placed at the bottom of the list of candidates for their race on the ballot.In a previous statement to Chalkbeat, Bultman said his record “meets the standard detailed by state election leaders who are charged with implementing the law and creating the form we all used to file for office.”IPS District 4 includes the southwestern part of the school district. Bultman and Crockett listed themselves as Democrats and indicated they met the voting requirements to do so on their filing paperwork.The challenge to Cornett, filed by Bryan Regules, also disputed the number of signatures she received and the timing of her filing.Once the county election board makes a decision, anyone who disagrees has 30 days to seek judicial review of the outcome, attorney Brad Boswell — who’s advising the elections board — told the board last month. However, the timeline is tight: The county’s first ballots are printed in mid-September. Cornett and Bultman were both finalists to fill the District 4 vacancy on the IPS school board following the resignation of board member Allissa Impink. The school board voted in June to appoint Bultman, who will serve until the newly elected school board member is sworn in. The winner of the District 4 race in November will serve the remainder of Impink’s term until 2028. MJ Slaby oversees Chalkbeat Indiana’s coverage as bureau chief.

It’s sad commentary on US media when two national newspapers, historically representing different poles of the American establishment, appear to share editorial writers.
