Primary Day is Tomorrow: A Guide to What You Need to Know

Voters will head to the polls Tuesday to vote in a primary that will, in some way, shape Chestnut Hill's future for the next four years.

Seven candidates are running in the Democratic primary for the 8th District City Council seat. To read more about all of them, check out our question and answer sessions with each of the candidates . We've also got videos of each candidate talking about issues specific to Chestnut Hill.

The winner will likely become the next City Council candidate, since there are no Republicans running, although an independent candidate could challenge the primary winner in the general election.

Cindy Bass, Bill Durham, Andrew Lofton, Greg Paulmier, Robin Tasco, Howard Treatman and Verna Tyner are running for the seat.

Even though the 8th District race is probably Mt. Airy's most prominent, it's not the only one happening this year. Primaries in races for mayor, sheriff, city commissioner and register of wills are happening. Voters will also select judges for state Commonwealth Court, state Superior Court, Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas, Philadelphia Municipal Court and Philadelphia Traffic Court.
