Republican Ballot
Registered Republican voters will receive the republican ballot. A sample ballot can be previewed here. If you are not registered as a Republican, you can request the primary ballot at your polling location or when you request an absentee ballot. If you have not declared a party, the non-partisan ballot will only have the issues and levies for your precinct on the ballot. By requesting the Republican ballot, you can cast your vote for Bill Frankart for Seneca County Commissioner. The Democratic ballot has no commissioner candidates, as no petitions were filed.
