OTHER CANDIDATES
October 16, 2010 - 11:00 pm
Not every race offers voters a choice of candidates.
If only one candidate from a party runs for a partisan office, those candidates only appear on the general election ballot, not the primary ballot, according to the Clark County Election Department.
That applies to six races on the Nov. 2 ballot, with the most notable being State Senate District 2. Assemblyman Mo Denis, D-Las Vegas, is the only one who applied to succeed term-limited incumbent Maggie Carlton, who is also a Democrat.
In nonpartisan races, if only one candidate files, that race is decided in the primary. That happened in 10 races.
The exception to that rule is single-candidate races for Nevada Supreme Court, which do appear on the general election ballot. Justices James Hardesty and Ronald Parraguirre are both unopposed on the November ballot.
