The General Election is scheduled for Tuesday, November 8th, and the ballots will be full. In addition to voting for Governor, Lt. Governor, and the rest of the statewide offices, there will be candidates for the US House, state representative, and state senator. Due to redistricting, all five County Commission seats will be on the ballot in addition to the County Attorney, Auditor-Treasurer, Recorder, and Sheriff. Other local positions will also be on the ballot.
