Voters made their decisions known for the primary races, setting the competition for the general election on Nov. 6.
In addition, anyone running for school board who received more than 50 percent of the vote in the primary wins the office. If not, the top two candidates will face off in the general election.
All those who want to vote in the general election must be registered with their county’s supervisor of elections office by Oct. 9. For Pasco residents, visit www.pascovotes.com or call (800) 851-8754. For those in Hillsborough, visit votehillsborough.org or call (813) 744-5900.
