Every contest the Secretary of State certified for Kent County, with every name and party as the document prints them. This is not the ballot's own order — the certification is printed county by county and this site does not keep the sequence within a county, so the offices are grouped by which government they belong to and ordered the way the Election Code lists them. Nor is a name here linked to anybody: a certification carries no identifier, so matching a candidate to a voting record or a campaign filing would be this site's guess and is left undone.
