It's election season again, and sometimes the slate of candidates is not the same for residents on both sides of Adams Road.  Here's why.

To see a list of who and what issues will be on your election form, see Who's On Your Ballot?, courtesy of the Indiana Statewide Voter Registration System.  After entering your county, name, and birth date you will get Candidate details and Public Question details (if any).  The site notes:

 

Under Indiana Law, if the voter wishes to cast a ballot in a primary election, the voter must request a ballot for either Democrat party candidates or Republican party candidates. Only the names of the Democrat candidates will appear on the Democrat party ballot. Only the names of the Republican candidates will appear on the Republican party ballot. In some cases the name of the office for which no candidate filed will not appear on the candidate list. The results below display the candidates who will be on your election ballot for the 2016 Primary Election. The list of candidates is supplied and maintained by the Indiana Election Division and your county election board.
 

Indiana voter registration is available at https://forms.in.gov/Download.aspx?id=9341.  See www.in.gov/mylocal/stjoseph_county.html for other government and community websites.
