Early voting for the Nov. 6  election will begin in mid-October across Rowan County, with many residents already casting their votes by mail, fax or email through absentee ballots.

But with 27 public offices appearing on the ballot, some may be wondering what names and races they will see.

With complex and often-changing districting in congressional, legislative, judicial and local elections, the Rowan County Board of Elections is unable to produce a sample ballot that applies to all voters. In the 2016 primary, there were 316 different ballots in Rowan.

Below is a list of all the races for the 2018 general election. Candidates’ names are listed as they will appear on the ballot, and party affiliation and incumbent status are listed after the names.

All ballots will include six proposed amendments to the state constitution that voters will vote for or against. The amendments also are listed below as they will appear on the ballot.
