VOA News

   Indiana and Mississippi are the latest U.S. states to postpone primary
   elections because of the coronavirus pandemic.

   Indiana's Republican governor, Eric Holcomb, said Friday that voting in
   the state's presidential primary, originally scheduled for May 5, would
   now take place June 2.

   "It stands to reason that rescheduling such an election should only be
   done in a time of emergency, and by definition we find ourselves in
   that situation,"Holcombsaid in a statement.

   The governor said both the state's Democratic and Republicanparty
   chairs supported the move.
