Read from OCR of the scanned sample ballot; spellings should be checked against the PDF. Municipal and county candidates are independents except Johnson City School Board (Hager, Hall, Kinnick, Treece: Republican nominees; Berkley: Democratic nominee). No candidate qualified for Constable District 7, Constable District 8, or School Board District 8 (unexpired terms). Johnson City races appear only for the Carter County part of the city.
