• Editor's note: This is one of a six-part series of sample ballots for Geneva. The series is published at or around 5 p.m. from Tuesday, March 6, though Sunday, March 11. See the Geneva Patch Primary Primer story for an overview and publication schedule.

It's getting close to the March 20 primary. You're wondering who the heck you're going to vote for.

Well, if you live on the far West Side of Geneva (Mill Creek, for example) and you're voting in the Republican primary, your sample ballot will look something like what you see below.

You can view for yourself by visiting the Kane County Clerk's website, clicking on "More" under the "Elections" header on the left, then "Sample Ballot." You'll need to type in your last name, street number and street name. (Only the first word of the street name is necessary. For example: "Green" rather than "North Green." Also, if you have a rural address, use the lowercase letter. For example: 0n720 rather than 0N720.)

Here's a link to the PDF for the Republican primary ballot for Geneva's far West Side. But for your convenience, I've re-typed it below. Let me know if you see any errors or omissions.

Editor's notes:

I included the noncontested races, just so that you wouldn't be surprised when you go to vote.

There are basically three sample ballots in Geneva, due to the various boundaries of the voting districts. For example, most Genevans are in the Kane County Board 11th District, but some on the East Side are in the 12th District and on the far West Side in the 18th District. Some Genevans will vote for the 25th District state senator and others for the 33rd District state senator. Depending on what part of town you live in, Genevans will vote for the 49th District, 65th District or 50th District General Assembly contests.

And, of course, you can choose a primary ballot for the Republican Party, the Democratic Party or a nonpartisan ballot.
