Sample Ballot for March 20 Primary—GOP, Geneva's East Side
Here's the sample Republican ballot for Geneva's East Side.
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 East Side of Geneva 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: "Downing" rather than "Downing Place.")

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 redistricting at the state and county level. For example, most Genevans are in the Kane County Board 11th District, but some are in District 12, 13 and 18. In statewide races, some Genevans will vote for the 25th District state senator and others for the 33rd District state senator, and Geneva is divvied up among three General Assembly districts: the 49th, 50th and 65th.
And, of course, you can choose a primary ballot for the Republican Party, the Democratic Party or a nonpartisan ballot.
