Nearly 500 candidates are expected to appear on the May 21 primary ballots in Westmoreland County.

Republican and Democratic voters will nominate candidates for state and county judges, county commissioners and row office positions, school boards, borough councils and township supervisors.

The candidate list is unofficial. Candidates will be permitted to withdraw their names from the ballot until March 27.
