Just 10 Votes: Enough to Win on Tuesday?

Incumbent Salisbury Township commissioner James Seagreaves will need a minimum of 10 write-in votes in Tuesday's primary election in order to advance to November's general election, according to officials at the Lehigh County Voter Registration office.

Seagreaves is running for re-election to the Salisbury Township Board of Commissioners. However, a  filing error left his name off the ballot in the township's second ward.

No person is listed on Tuesday's primary ballot for commissioner in Salisbury Township's second ward.

Terri Harkins, deputy chief clerk at the Lehigh County Voter Registration office, confirmed that Seagreaves will need 10 write-in votes, which matches the amount of signatures needed on a ballot petition.

Seagreaves currently serves as president pro-tempore of the board.

Should Seagreaves receive the 10 write-in votes, he could be engaged with a write-in challenge in November.

If no one wins the primary or general election, a person from the second ward would need to be appointed.

Republican Board President James Brown is running unopposed in the Fourth Ward and will move on to the general election, where someone could engage him in a write-in campaign.
