Primary day: Who's on the ballot and where to vote
May 1—The primary day for this year's municipal elections is Tuesday. There will be a total of 15 vote centers open from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday to allow registered voters to make their choice heard in the 11 city primary races on the ballot. Any registered voter living in Kokomo can go to any of the vote centers, not just the closest one to where they live.
Voters who go to the polls, though, will find very few competitive races. Three primary races — all on the Republican ticket — are contested.
Here are the contested races on this year's primary ballot:
City Council First District
Republican: Dave Capshaw
Jason Acord
City Council Fifth District
Republican: Greg Davis
Kara Kitts-McKibben
City Council Sixth District
Republican: Kevin Summers
