JEFFERSON CO., Pa. (EYT) – Here’s a look at who will be running in the upcoming municipal primary elections in Jefferson County on Tuesday, May 16.
The primary election will determine which candidates will represent their respective political parties in the general election for various local offices.
Only registered voters who are affiliated with a political party will be eligible to vote in their party’s primary election. The deadline for unaffiliated voters to register with a political party was May 1.
Odd-year elections like this one usually see lower turnout compared to midterm and presidential elections; around 20% of registered voters cast ballots in odd-year primaries versus 30%-plus in even ones.
