The Nov. 5 local general election ballot is nearly in place, as the candidate filing deadline for school board and township trustees was Aug. 7.
Here is what appears to be on the November ballot. A write-in candidate deadline could change any of this. That deadline is 5 p.m., Monday, Aug. 26. And, the board has not yet certified school board and trustee petitions.
The lone change in races is that Renee Smith did not file a petition for the Bluffton school board seat she currently holds. A new candidate, Bradley Dailey has filed for that seat.
