JEFFERSON CO., Pa. (EYT) – Here’s a look at who will be running in the upcoming municipal elections in Jefferson County on Tuesday, November 7.

Municipal elections take place to fill judicial vacancies, allow judicial retention votes, and to fill various local, municipal, and county offices.

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.
