Lincoln County voters will go to the polls Tuesday to decide party nominees in races for sheriff, county commissioner and state and federal races. They also will help decide the non-partisan district judge contest.
Also, voters in Davenport will decide whether or not to raise sales tax.
For sheriff, four candidates are vying for the office: current sheriff Chuck Mangion, who was appointed in 2009, and Todd Beesley, both Republicans, and Charlie Dougherty and Jerry T. White, both Democrats.
For County Commissioner District No. 1, incumbent Don E. Sporleder drew an opponent in Chris Foster, both Republicans, and Wayne Corter and Gregory Mark Wilson, both Democrats.
Two candidates will vie for the Democratic nomination for County Commissioner District No. 3: Terry A. Young and James F. Watkins. The winner of the primary will face Lee Doolen in the general election Nov. 2.
In Davenport, voters will decide whether or not to raise sales tax to 4 percent, from the current 3 percent.
A yes vote raises the sales tax, a no vote does not.
