Public Question 1 passed in the November 3, 2026 election, based on unofficial returns. Earlier, the state constitution reserved no-bail holds for murder and treason. Indiana judges can now refuse bail in more cases, provided the proof is evident or the presumption strong and the person is a danger to others. The state also has to prove, by clear and convincing evidence, that release conditions would leave others unprotected. An appeal is available if bail is denied.
