The Kenton County Board of Elections Chair Gabe Summe set the ballot positions Thursday afternoon for the 2024 Covington commissioner primary election in May.
Ballot positions are determined by drawing numbered lots. Positions are drawn based on the order in which candidates filed for the race. So the candidate who filed first, in this case, Morgan Davenport, had their position chosen first. The candidate who filed second was then chosen, then the third, and so on.
There are 10 candidates for the Covington Board of Commissioners, and it is the only race in Kenton County that will have a primary on May 21. The race is nonpartisan, so candidates do not necessarily need to declare a party, even though there’s a primary.
The primary will winnow away two candidates, leveling the field to eight candidates for the general election in November. The county will draw new ballot positions before the general election.
The order of the candidate ballot positions for the May primary is below. All candidates are nonpartisan.
- Tim Acri
- Shannon C. Smith
- Bill Wells
- Cari McMurtry Garriga
- Bradie Bowen
- Morgan Davenport
- Aaron Wolpert
- James Toebbe
- Tim Downing
- Devin Kroner
