Why were party declarations not on ballots?
We have to declare what party we are to register to vote but Bourbon County can decide not to put candidates party affiliations on the ballot. This seems not right to me.
I thought that was strange also. Just doesn’t seem right.
Some elections are “non-partisan”, meaning they don’t list party declarations. This is usually local stuff – city, school board elections, judges, and happens around the country, variations depending on state law of course. It’s generally a good thing – you want local people focused on local issues and where they stand, their background etc, it really is less about their views on national political party platforms; they aren’t deciding on those issues, so it helps keep the focus on the local matters. A good thing, imo, there’s enough partisan nonsense out there dividing us as it is.
