my personal experiences and education make me qualified to hold the position of coroner and I would appreciate everyone’s consideration of writing my name in on the Nov. 6 ballet”, said Garlock. There are specific instructions when writing a candidate’s name in on a ballet. There are flyers circulating Butler County outlining the correct way to write-in a candidate’s name. If anyone has any question as to the write-in procedure, they can contact the Butler County Circuit Clerk’s office at the Butler County Courthouse, or contact the Secretary of State’s office in Montgomery.
