Primary Election Information

BALLOT INFORMATION

The Adams County Office of Elections has sample ballots on their website for every precinct in the county.  Every precinct, because the ballots are unique to each precinct for the local candidates (school board, township supervisor, auditor, tax collector, etc).  This is the Primary Election, so Democrats will only see Democrat or cross-filed Republican candidates on their ballots.

Democratic Headquarters is open every day from noon to 4 pm, and volunteers are available to answer questions from callers and visitors.  On Election Day the office will be staffed from 7 am to 8 pm. Please call 717-337-5285 or drop by at 24 Chambersburg Street, where printed copies of candidate information are available, as well as information on the State Judicial candidates.

Equal opportunity for all citizens,
Rewarding honest, hard work with a living wage and fair tax system, Family values that are more than a political slogan,
Quality education that gives all citizens the opportunity to reach their potential,
Freedom from government interference in our private lives and personal decisions,
A diverse population and the benefits derived from diversity,
Security in our homes and safety on our streets,
Separation of church and state to preserve individual freedom, as set forth in the Constitution,
A strong United States - morally, economically and militarily,
Laws that protect and preserve our environment, including commonsense reforms for cleaner and safer air and water,
An honest and open government that is accountable to the American people,
And providing affordable and quality healthcare to all Americans.
