Mears was appointed by a Democratic caucus to take over after Terry Curry stepped down for health reasons in 2019. This is the first time he faced voters.
“I understand the deep commitment that drives prosecutors in seeking justice for victims," Mears said. "I have stood in Marion County courtrooms fighting for that justice, consoling grieving families and watching the incredible challenges faced by everyone involved.

After a difficult and delay-filled morning, voters are moving in-and-out in less than 10 minutes at the Broad Ripple High School polling site, WRTV's Nikki DeMentri said.
A printer problem and an influx of address changes combined with heavy turnout meant some voters at the high school waited in line for about an hour this morning.
Officials at the Broad Ripple site said 994 voters had cast their in-person ballots by 4:07 p.m.

12:55 p.m.
Libertarian U.S. Senate candidate James Sceniak said someone called police on one of his volunteers who was holding a campaign sign at the Meadows Shopping Center in Terre Haute.
"While other candidates were also campaigning in the same vicinity, my volunteer was the only one approached," Sceniak said in an email. "The officers at the time did not see an issue. Later the election board came and removed all campaigners and candidates while signs were allowed to remain."
Sceniak said his team and lawyers are investigating.
"Our elections should be fair to all candidates," he said.
Vigo County Clerk Brad Newman said the shopping center is private property and is one of the voting locations where electioneering is not allowed. When a poll official approached a group of people campaigning there this morning, Newman said that the Sceniak supporter was belligerent.
"He wanted to argue and raise his voice," Newman said. "I literally have had to deal with this man throwing a temper tantrum all morning."
Newman said Sceniak and all other candidates were given a list of places where electioneering is allowed. They knew this location was off limits.
"They (the Sceniak team) are begging for attention on Election Day, I get that," Newman said. "But this is not the right way to do it."
In a follow-up email, the Sceniak campaign provided a statement from the unnamed volunteer in which the volunteer denied that anyone was ""combative or argumentative."
Newman said turnout has been heavier than expected.
There are 75,000 registered voters in Vigo County; 13,000 voted early, Newman said.
By 12:42 p.m, 6,500 Vigo County residents voted in person on Tuesday.
12:20 p.m.
About a quarter of the registered voters in Monroe County have cast ballots so far, Clerk Nicole Browne said.

12:05 p.m.
Greenwood mom Meg Gray cast a ballot at Mount Pleasant Christian Church. Gray said she voted today because she wants to set an example for her children.
Noon
Heavy turnout is leading to an hour-long voting line at Broad Ripple High School, WRTV's Nikki DeMentri said. Inspectors say the equipment is working, but voting is slow because of the volume of people and an influx of voters who have changed addresses.
11:30 a.m.
Johnson County voter turnout was at 24% by 11:30 a.m. and all polling locations were seeing steady turnout, according to Clerk Trena McLaughlin's office.

There has been one reported case in Hamilton County of someone's choices being cleared while voting. However, officials say this is not a widespread issue.

Voting machines are currently down at St. Thomas Aquinas Church off North Illinois Street and East 46th Street on Indianapolis' north side.
