Many Bryan County residents will be heading to the polls Tuesday to vote on the presidential primaries and local school board elections.

According to Bryan County Election Board Secretary Linda Fahrendorf, any registered Bryan County voter will receive at least one ballot: the ballot for Kiamichi Technology Center board of directors. Those registered to vote as an Independent or no party will not receive a ballot for the presidential primary, but Democrats and Republicans will receive a primary ballot for their party.

The presidential primary ballots were created weeks ago, and some of the candidates have since dropped out of the race. Fahrendorf said votes will be certified as they are cast.

Voters who live in a district in which there are school board races will receive a ballot for that election, regardless of political affiliation.

Following are a list of school boards with positions to be filled and the candidates that are running in those elections:

Achille Public Schools:

Office No. 2,
