In 1969, Indianapolis and Marion County adopted a uni-gov making Marion County one government body. Speedway was one of four “excluded cities,” so it retained its city government. Speedway residents have the right to vote for the mayor of Indianapolis and their representatives on the Indianapolis/Marion County City-County Council as well as the Speedway  mayor and other elected officials.
