Tuesday, May 21st is Primary Election Day

Tuesday, Primary Election Day is not the SIZZLE of last year's Presidential Elections, but it has teeth, and is Extremely Important to select the Best Qualified Candidates for the Local & County Races

Tuesday, May 21st is Primary Election Day in Pennsylvania. It may not have the SIZZLE as last year’s Presidential Election, but IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT none-the-less. County Judge Races, School Board Races, as well as Local Municipal Races for Township Supervisor, Tax Collector & Auditor are IMPORTANT to you as a local Resident.

Being a Primary, you may only vote in your registered party’s primary races. Quite simply, if you're registered as a Democrat, you may only vote for candidates that are on the Democratic Primary Ballot.

In regards to School Directors, and County Judges, candidates registered to vote as either a Democrat or Republican, in most cases will appear as cross-filed candidates in BOTH political parties races. It is extremely IMPORTANT for registered DEMOCRATS to obtain a copy of the OFFICIAL COUNTY “GOLDEN ROD” (Gold or Yellow Colored) ENDORSED SAMPLE Ballot that are distributed at your Polling Place, by authorized Committeepersons or Poll workers. Copies of these Officially Endorsed Candidates from the Democratic Party appear in this BLOG.
