Primary elections optional in small Indiana counties
In Indiana many counties with cities under 36,000 may opt for primary nominating conventions while larger counties must hold primaries by law. DeKalb and other small counties can choose not to use primaries, meaning nominations by party committees could prevail and some primary-nominated names might be rejected at the election.
