Who is on the ballot in Rowan?
Published 12:00 am Tuesday, March 8, 2016
If you’re wondering which races are on this year’s primary ballot, you’re in the right place.
Congressional and legislative districts criss-cross the county in so many different ways that the Board of Elections is unable to produce one sample ballot that applies to all voters. There are 316 different ballot styles in Rowan.
Here is a list of all the races that are on the primary ballot and the candidates. Party affiliation is listed after the candidates’ names.
There are primaries for Republicans, Democrats and Libertarians. The state also has a bond referendum on the ballot for which everyone who is registered can vote, including unaffiliated voters.
North Carolina allows voters registered as unaffiliated to vote in the primary of their choice.
Voters may obtain a sample ballot tailored to include only your districts by visiting www.ncsbe.gov, clicking on Voter tools, then Voter lookup or going directly to:
