Ballard wants the commission to consider four pending campaign finance complaints in the race and take any necessary action before Election Day.
"Hoosier voters deserve stronger accountability and transparency in the conduct of our elections," Ballard said in a statement. "Today I am asking the Indiana Election Commission to meet, which it has not done since July. It is ignoring four complaints filed in the Secretary of State’s race. Early voting has already started. Traditionally the Commission meets in September, which did not happen this year. Not meeting is an abandonment of duties.

- Indiana death row inmate Jeffrey Weisheit is asking the state’s highest court to move his execution from Nov. 5 to Nov. 19 so experts can analyze brain scans his attorneys say would give Gov. Mike Braun a fuller account of his impairments before deciding clemency.
A federal judge approved funding for the testing but ruled she lacked authority to order prison officials to transport him for the scans.
In two emergency motions filed Monday with the Indiana Supreme Court, the lawyers asked the justices to direct Indiana State Prison officials to transport him to a nearby medical imaging center and postpone his execution and clemency proceedings by two weeks. The Indiana Parole Board is scheduled to interview Weisheit on Friday and hear public testimony Monday.
