General Election 2016 – Candidates

This year is shaping up to be an important election year. Most importantly, we, the people, will be electing our next President of the United States. This one race tends to overshadow the rest of the races that are just as important. There are a lot of local and state races that are competing for your attention in addition to the federal races. It is important to know that there is always an option to “write-in” a candidate, but for your write-in vote to be counted, the person being listed must have filed paperwork with the State Board of Elections. You can check candidate filings online or you can ask the election officers at your polling location for a list of the write-in candidates. Candidates will be listed below for the federal, state, and some local elections. You can check a sample ballot for your precinct online through the Jefferson County Clerk.
