The ballot for the 2019 city general election in November is expected to be complete this week.
No new independent candidates filed by the noon deadline on Monday that would have allowed a candidate to have his or her name added to the fall ballot, Bartholomew County elections supervisor Shari Lentz said.
Incumbent Republican Mayor Jim Lienhoop and incumbent Republican city Clerk-Treasurer Luann Welmer remain unopposed on the ballot. Lienhoop won the GOP nomination in the May primary with 71 percent of the vote, challenged by Glenn Petri. Welmer did not have opposition in the primary.
