Clinton County voters will see a relatively light primary ballot. Two county row offices are on the ballot this year and the two incumbent row officers are unopposed for their respective third terms. Republican treasurer Michelle Kunes and Democratic coroner Zach Hanna have no opponents from either party.

Four Keystone Central School Board seats are on the ballot and three incumbents have filed, unopposed, for re-election. They are Region II, Elisabeth Lynch; Region V, board president Tracy Smith; and Region VII, Roger Elling. No one filed a petition in Region IX, the Renovo area. Eric Probert is the incumbent, but he said earlier this year he would not seek a second 4-year term.

In addition to the Republican and Democratic primaries, all registered voters, regardless of party, will be able to vote on several Constitutional amendments on the ballot.
