The notice says all other township clerk races will have a write-in line only.
Party labels are as printed in the county's official notice (R = Republican, D = Democrat, L = Libertarian, I = independent). Kansas county commission seats are partisan except in Johnson County, where they are nonpartisan. In some judicial districts (such as the 13th, 18th and 19th) district judges are elected on party ballots; in others (such as the 3rd and 10th) voters decide whether to retain them.
Township clerks listed with no candidate can be filled by write-in votes. Kansas House races depend on your address; all 125 seats are on the Secretary of State candidate list. Check your ballot at Kansas VoterView (Secretary of State).
One candidate per seat on the list (write-ins may still be possible).
Yes or no on keeping each judge in office.
Norbert C Marek (Division 1), Christopher T Etzel (Division 2), Jeff Elder (Division 3)
