Here is a link to the Official Notice of Election for Military and Overseas Voters 2021 Municipal Primary Election May 18, 2021. It's a very long document. First, it tells you that you can still register to vote up to May 3rd. Then, it tells you how to get mail-in ballots, if you like. Democrats and Republicans can vote in all state, county, school district, and municipal contests. Unaffiliated voters can only vote on the constitutional amendments. Unaffiliated voters in Deer Creek, French Creek, Mill Creek, New Lebanon, Sandy Creek, and Wolf Creek can also vote on a Small Games of Chance proposal.
After that, it lists the statewide races, which this year are for judges on the appellate courts: Supreme Court, Superior Court, and Commonwealth Court. Then come the county-wide races. Tom Amundsen is the only Democrat on the ballot for County Controller, a job he has performed admirably since 2001. He will have a Republican opponent in the general election this fall. All of the men running for Common Pleas Court Judge are Republicans who have cross-filed. No Democrat is running. To find out who is running in your local races, you may need to do some scrolling. They are listed alphabetically. In this time of pandemic, candidates have found it easier to come to our DWMC meetings from their homes or, often, from their cars as they drive to even more meetings. Below is a list of the candidates who introduced themselves to DWMC and asked for our votes, along with links to their campaign sites:
