The Nov. 6 general election is one of the biggest ballots in years. According to the Alameda County registrar, some voters could have up to four separate ballot cards to mark and feed for tabulation. From Congress to the Eden Township Healthcare District, every race is of great importance and of need of serious examination. Below is a list of preliminary candidates for each race, updated daily until Aug. 10 and for some races with an incumbent not running for re-election, Aug. 15. Highlighted in pink are races that will be covered extensively during the next three months in the East Bay Citizen. Democrat=(D), Republican=(R), *incumbent, BOLD=filing complete.
