It will happen in Room 201 of the Indiana Statehouse, 200 West Washington Street.

INDIANAPOLIS (WTHR) - ​On Thursday, Indianapolis Mayor Joe Hogsett will submit the signatures required to place presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg on Indiana's Democratic primary ballot.

Hogsett and Pete For America volunteers will submit over 8,300 signatures for the former South Bend mayor at the secretary of state's office just before noon Thursday.

The signatures will permit Buttigieg's name to be officially added to the May ballot.

Hogsett is expected to make a statement just prior to the presentation. It will happen in Room 201 of the Indiana Statehouse, 200 West Washington Street.

Late Wednesday, Buttigieg clung to a slight lead over Bernie Sanders in a new batch of vote totals released by the Iowa Democratic Party on Wednesday, two days after the state hosted its first-in-the-nation presidential caucuses.
