Republican Or Democrat
| When you go to vote in the May primary election, you
will be asked if you want to vote in the republican or democrat primary.
How you answer that question will make a big difference on who you can
vote for or if you can vote for anybody at all. On May 3rd, Loudon County will hold the republican and democrat primary election. Normally, a primary election would determine which candidates from each party would face off in the August county general election. But in this election, there will be only one democrat on the ballot and in only one district. The only democrat running is for the Tellico Village, 7th district, county commission seat. What this means is, if you vote in the seventh district and you choose to vote in the democrat primary election, you will only be able to vote for one candidate. You will not be able to vote for a the mayor, sheriff or any other countywide candidate. If you choose to vote democrat in any other districts, you will have no candidates to vote for. So even if you're a diehard democrat, and you want to vote for any county wide candidates, you will have to vote in the republican primary. |
