LISBON - It's official. There will be three candidates on the Sixth District congressional seat ballot as Dennis Spisak, of the Green Party, officially joined Democrat incumbent Charles Wilson and Republican Richard Stobbs on the November ticket.

Spisak provided proof of his selection by the Green Party and instead of being a write-in candidate, his name will officially appear on the ballot.

With write-in candidates, their names do not appear on the ballot as voters have to literally write in a name on the space provided.

Columbiana County Board of Elections Director Kim Meek said she was contacted last week about the Secretary of State's decision to let Spisak on the ballot, if he provided proof of his nomination.

Ohio Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner ordered the placement of the Green Party presidential ticket on the ballot in light of recent court decisions which allowed Libertarian candidates to be put on the ballots. This decision came the first week of September.

Spisak claimed his name should go on the ballot, since he's a Green Party candidate who has served the party since late 2003. He also stated he was chosen by the Ohio Green Party's State Coordinating Committee to run for the Sixth District congressional seat.

Also at the Columbiana Columbiana County Board of Elections office, the members passed several directives to ensure safety and risk of the Board. The list of guidelines ensures best practices through the entire voting experience in November.

Guidelines like securing the Board of Elections office, inventory control for ballots and securing the server for the voting tabulation machines were discussed and adopted.

The major, debatable topic, according to the director, was the new method of delivering the M100 machines as the preceding judges will not have to take them home. The machines will not be delivered from the election offices itself.
