Indiana is holding congressional and state legislative primaries on Tuesday. Polls closed at 6 p.m. local time.

The races and the stakes:

Republican and Democratic candidates are fighting for a chance to represent their districts in both Washington, DC, and the state capital of Indianapolis on Tuesday.

Indiana has nine seats in the US House of Representatives, each of which is up for election in 2022. Experts only rated one congressional district in the state as competitive for November's general election: the state's 1st Congressional District, located in the northwest region of the state.

Incumbent Democratic Rep. Frank Mrvan is running for reelection in the district and faces a primary challenge from Richard Fantin.

Seven Republicans are also vying for a chance to win the Republican ticket for the 1st District: Mark Levya, Blair Milo, Nicholas Pappas, Jennifer-Ruth Green, David Ruiz, Aaron Storer, and Martin Lucas.

According to The Cook Political Report, seven of Indiana's congressional seats are considered "solid Republican:" the state's 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 8th, and 9th congressional districts. Only one district in the state is rated as "solid Democrat": Indiana's 7th Congressional District.

On the US Senate side, Republican Sen. Todd Young is running unopposed in the Republican primary. The first-term senator and former House representative is set to face off against Democrat Thomas McDermott Jr., who also has no challengers in the Democratic primary election.

Experts from The Cook Political Report predict that Young will safely win reelection, rating the race as "solid R."

Each of the seats in the Indiana House of Representatives is up for election, however, only 25 of the seats in the Indiana Senate are up as the state senators' terms are staggered, meaning half the of the state Senate is up for reelection every two years.
