Voters in Clinch County will be asked to choose who will represent them Georgia's First Congressional District, State House District 174 and numerous county and local races and ballot issues listed on this page.
If there is more than one candidate of each party running for an office, the race will appear on the July 31 primary ballot. The party nominee will then appear on the November ballot if there is an opponent from another party. (Many offices only have Republican candidates and the race will be settled after the primary.)
Candidates not opposed will appear on the ballot, but are not listed in this voter's guide. Judicial races, ballot questions and other non-partisan contests listed below appear on the primary ballot.
Candidates who have responded to WJXT/News4Jax.com's questionnaire will have a profile link by their name.
