Terminated pregnancies reported

2025

Understand this number · 1 breakdown

Terminated pregnancies performed in Indiana during 2025 and reported to the Indiana Department of Health under the state's reporting requirements.

Procedure method

Surgical: 96
Nonsurgical: 30

How it was measured: The Indiana Department of Health compiles individual terminated-pregnancy reports submitted by facilities and physicians and publishes an annual statewide report.

Keep in mind

The count covers procedures reported as performed in Indiana and does not count Indiana residents who received care in another state.
Later amendments are not reflected in the annual extract, and the total does not establish the effect of a law or candidate position.

How it was measured: U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts, sourced from the American Community Survey 2020–2024 five-year estimate and expressed in 2024 dollars.

Keep in mind

This is a multi-year statewide estimate, not a current asking-rent measure.
The median obscures differences by location, unit size, housing quality, and renter circumstances.

How it was measured: U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts, sourced from the 2024 American Community Survey 1-year estimate.

Keep in mind

This is a survey estimate for people under 65 and does not describe coverage type or continuity of coverage.

How it was measured: U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts, sourced from the American Community Survey 2020–2024 five-year estimate.

Keep in mind

This is an adult educational-attainment measure, not a current high-school graduation rate or a measure of school quality.
A statewide estimate can obscure differences across communities and demographic groups.

How it was measured: CDC National Vital Statistics System death-certificate data.

The total combines firearm deaths across intents, including suicide, homicide, legal intervention, and unintentional or undetermined injury.
It does not measure nonfatal injuries, firearm ownership, defensive uses, or policy effects.

Indiana snapshot41.8%

Coal share of in-state electricity generation

2024

Understand this number · 1 breakdown

Coal generation as a share of Indiana's total in-state electric-power-industry net generation.

EIA generation totals

Coal generation: 40,526,000 MWh (rounded)
Total net generation: 97,012,880 MWh

How it was measured: FactVote divided EIA's 40,526 thousand MWh of 2024 coal generation by 97,012,880 MWh of total in-state net generation and rounded the result to one decimal place.

Keep in mind

EIA publishes the coal numerator in thousand MWh, so the displayed numerator is converted to MWh and remains rounded to the nearest thousand MWh.
In-state generation is not the same as electricity consumed in Indiana because power crosses state lines.

Indiana snapshot$3.85/gal

Midwest regular gasoline price

Week of August 31, 2026

Understand this number · 1 breakdown

Estimated average retail price of regular-grade gasoline across all formulations, including taxes, in EIA's Midwest petroleum district. The district includes Indiana and 14 other states.

Indiana compared with the U.S.

Regular gasoline price

Indiana: $3.847/gal
United States: $4.071/gal

The Midwest average was 22.4 cents per gallon lower, or about 5.5% below the U.S. average.

Both figures are EIA weekly retail estimates for regular gasoline, including taxes, for the week of August 31, 2026. The Indiana-side figure is the Midwest regional average, not an Indiana statewide estimate.

U.S. Energy Information Administration ↗

Recent EIA observations

Prior week: $3.934/gal
Weekly change: −$0.087/gal
One year earlier: $3.088/gal
Change from one year earlier: +$0.759/gal

How it was measured: U.S. Energy Information Administration weekly retail motor-gasoline survey estimate for the Midwest region. FactVote displays the published dollars-per-gallon value and calculates changes from EIA's published prior-week and nearest year-earlier weekly observations.

Keep in mind

EIA does not publish a current Indiana statewide weekly gasoline-price series; this Midwest regional estimate should not be read as Indiana's statewide average.
The regional estimate combines Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, and Wisconsin, and does not represent the price at every station or in every Indiana community.
This nominal weekly snapshot does not identify why prices changed or establish the effect of any tax, bill, executive action, or market event.

How it was measured: U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts, sourced from the American Community Survey 2020–2024 five-year estimate.

Keep in mind

Income is not take-home pay and does not directly measure taxes, wealth, prices, or purchasing power.
A statewide median obscures regional and household differences.

17%

Primary election turnout

May 5, 2026 primary election

Understand this number · 2 breakdowns

Indiana voters casting a ballot in the November 2024 general election as a share of registered voters.

General and latest primary turnout comparison

General election turnout: 62%
Primary election turnout: 17%

Indiana publishes both statewide registered-voter turnout figures rounded to whole percentages; the primary is the latest completed statewide primary and the general election remains the latest completed statewide general election.

The primary and general elections occurred in different cycles, used different registration totals, and offered different ballot choices.
Rounded turnout does not by itself measure election access, administration quality, confidence, or policy effects.

General-election registered voters: 4,837,802
Primary-election voters: 820,895
Primary-election registered voters: 4,709,250

How it was measured: Indiana reports 2,976,599 general-election voters among 4,837,802 registered voters and publishes the statewide turnout as 62%; it reports 820,895 primary voters among 4,709,250 registered voters and publishes 17%.

Keep in mind

The published percentages are rounded to whole numbers, so they differ from ratios calculated to additional decimal places.
Turnout is not a measure of every eligible resident or of election accuracy.

Indiana snapshot349.2 per 100,000

Reported violent-crime rate

2024

Understand this number

Violent offenses reported to law enforcement per 100,000 residents in participating jurisdictions.

How it was measured: FactVote sums the 12 monthly state offense rates returned by the FBI Crime Data Explorer for each calendar year. The accompanying coverage value is the mean of the 12 monthly population-coverage percentages returned with the same query.

Keep in mind

These are crimes reported to law enforcement, not all crimes that occurred.
Indiana's average monthly population coverage was below 90% in every year from 2015 through 2024, ranging from 75.3% to 87.2%. Every point is flagged and should be interpreted as reporting-jurisdiction data, not complete statewide coverage.
Reporting systems, agency participation, and later revisions can change the published series.
Average monthly population coverage in 2024 was 87.2%; this is not complete statewide reporting.

How evidence matching works

A candidate position matches when its reviewed statement or source excerpt explicitly supports your selection. Statements that point the other way, contain mixed language, or merely mention the topic remain separate and do not increase a candidate's match. A vote matches only when exact official text establishes the measure's direction and the recorded Yes or No moved in the same direction as your selection.
