Do you want to review a sample ballot before you vote?
Almost always, your Franklin County election precinct will have a distinct ballot.
Why isn't there just one ballot for all of Franklin County?
Some elected officials represent a specific area within the county. As a result, your ballot may include local, district-specific candidates that are elected by a few precincts. Examples would include your local county commissioner or school board member.
