Marion County’s Sample Ballot Shows a Write-In Line. It Does Not Name Carroll.

The county’s precincts 1 and 2 sample ballot names LaFleur and includes a blank write-in line. That is separate from an accepted write-in declaration or qualified-candidate roster.

Marion County has linked November 3 sample ballots from its election page. RepWatchr reviewed the two-page sample for precincts 1 and 2 on September 29.

The County Judge section appears on page 2. It lists Leward J. LaFleur as Republican and provides a separate blank line labeled for a write-in response. Dina Carroll’s name is not printed in that section.

What that establishes

The county-published sample shows how that contest is presented in the reviewed precincts. It is useful evidence of the sample ballot’s contents. It does not report a vote count or an election outcome.

What remains missing

A blank write-in line does not identify every qualified write-in candidate. Carroll’s posted campaign-treasurer appointment is a separate record. RepWatchr has not acquired the accepted write-in declaration or qualified-write-in roster for this desk.

That gap should stay visible. It is not a finding that Carroll failed to qualify, and a campaign statement alone does not close it.

Open the right record

Use the county election page to select the sample for your precinct; do not assume this one sample covers every voter. Open the original PDF and read the office label before sharing a screenshot. If you have the accepted declaration or official roster, submit it for review so the candidate-status note can be corrected with a source.

This is a document check, not a candidate endorsement. AI-assisted draft; publication remains subject to human editorial review.
