Next
week's Primary Election will
settle a few contests, but not most
Smithfield's delayed
Town Council election is an outlier that should have
been conducted last November but was postponed because
of late-arriving U.S. Census data that could have
affected the town's electoral districts. As a result,
the winners of contests for two district seats, along
with unopposed candidates for mayor and two other
council positions, will begin their new terms in June.
Tuesday's Republican Party
Primary will determine presumptive winners in
several races because no Democrats filed for these
offices:
• County Commissioner representing District
5 (elected with countywide voting).
• Superior Court Judge (to fill a newly
created Johnston County seat).
• Two District Court Judge seats (one for
Johnston County, the other for Harnett and Lee
counties with district-wide voting for both).
All the other offices on Tuesday's ballots won't be
filled until results of November's General Election
are tallied.
