There is one, two-year seat available, but no one registered for that position so a candidate could be nominated in the primary with 10 write-in votes the same number of signatures needed on nominating petitions, according to the Franklin County commissioners office.
If there is no write-in candidate from the primary, someone could win the seat with a write-in in the November election, with no minimum vote. If the seat is still unfilled, it will be considered a vacancy to be filled by the school board.
To help readers learn more about the people running on the contested Republican ballot, we asked the candidates three questions. Here are their answers, in the order in which their names will appear on the ballot:
