General elections have the most offices and issues on the ballot and usually generate more interest and higher turnout than any other elections.

Most offices on the general election ballot are partisan.  Offices on the ballot include:

  • President and Vice President (leap years)

  • Governor and Lt. Governor, other statewide officials (non-leap years)

  • US Senator and Representative

  • State Legislators

  • County Officials

Non-partisan offices on the general election ballot are:

  • Ag Extension Council

  • Soil and Water Conservation Board

  • Township Officials

    • Note: Township clerks and trustees were elected on a partisan basis through the 2004 general election.  State law changed in 2005, and beginning with the 2006 general election township officials were elected on a nonpartisan basis.

  • Judicial retention (yes or no for judges to stay in office)

Many general elections include state constitutional amendments.  City or county issues may also appear on the ballot.
