The Rich County primary election will be June 24, 2014. For
the county commissioner race, this will be the only election as this race is
only contested in the Republican primary.
Elections for which there will be a primary are County Commissioner
(countywide) and 3 local school district elections. The school board elections are for positions
in Garden City, Laketown, and Randolph north.
The school board elections are non-partisan and all registered voters in
a school district are eligible to vote in that district. The final runoff election between the top two
primary school board contestants will occur in November.
The county commissioner primary is for registered
Republicans only. There are two Republican candidates, Pat
Argyle and Tom Weston. The winner of the
primary will face no opposition in November, hence this primary will decide the
county commissioner race. If someone
wishes to change their registration to Republican so that they may vote, it
will be possible, in person at the Rich County Offices, up to May 27 (there is
some chance of a later opportunity but that is not yet certain). Registered Independents and Democrats will
not be allowed to vote in the Republican primary county commissioner race.
The last day to register to vote in person is June 9. Early voting will start June 10. Voter registration is also possible
on-line. Check the Rich County web site.

You said "this primary will decide the county commissioner race."
It is true that someone could run a "write-in" campaign as an independent against the winner of the republican primary, correct? Actually, I guess anyone could run against any of the candidates this way. I just wanted to check if this is right. If that is still an option I want people to know it. Not that I think it will change anything.
So I finally found my answer to the above question/comment. So evidently in the state of Utah they no longer leave a spot for a "write-in" unless a person registers "for the race no later than 60 days before the general election". Two of the cited reasons for this change is to save paper and to avoid people writing in the names of people that don't want to be elected.
