The political playhouse is about to get thinned out following the Tuesday primary election.
Ballots for the mail-only primary election must be postmarked by Tuesday, Aug. 17 and the results will decide what two candidates will line up against each other in races in the 47th and 5th districts.
The state now uses the top-two primary, which means the two legislative candidates in each race with the most votes move on to the general election, regardless of party affiliation. Races with two candidates are listed on the primary ballot, which allows voters to write-in a candidate.
