2022 School Board Sample Ballot

• What races are included on the Kids Voting 2022 May ballot?

  Kids will have the opportunity to vote on the same candidate as adults in the May 2022 Durham School Board Election. Kids Voting does not do primary elections, so none of the partisan primary elections that are on the adult ballot are in included on the KVD ballot.

• Why is there no option to write in a candidate on the Kids Voting ballot?

  Kids Voting Durham does not have write-in candidates on its ballot even when that option is available for adult voters. Rules for write-in candidate eligibility are complex, and we do not have the capacity to tally & record write-ins.

• What is on the adult ballot this election?

  Adults can find a copy of their sample ballot by going to DCoVotes Sample Ballot . Ballots will vary depending on where the voter lives and what their registered party affiliation is.

• Why do none of the candidates have their party listed after their name?

  Durham School Board elections are non-partisan, which means that no candidate runs as a member of a political party like Republican or Democrat.
