Board moves to add Justice of the Peace race to general-election ballot
Summary
Faced with an approaching ballot-printing deadline, the board agreed to upload the Justice of the Peace race to the general-election ballot (printing on the backside), eliminating a hand count; members discussed party qualification and petition deadlines.
With the general-ballot printing deadline approaching, the clerk told the board they could upload the Justice of the Peace (JP) race so it would print on the backside and be counted by tabulator, avoiding a separate hand count. The clerk explained the vendor would program the tabulator to read both sides and that adding the JP race would streamline counting.
A committee member moved to add the JP race to the general-election ballot and another member seconded the motion. Members discussed whether potential candidates had been consulted and the timing for party petition or qualification (deadlines were discussed in general terms and members were advised to contact the party chair). The board agreed to proceed with uploading the JP race for the general ballot.
