These offices are on the November 3 ballot too. Most drew a single candidate. The one contested race is Constable, District 6.

Correction, Oct. 13, 2026: An earlier Hardin Local page said three Soil and Water Conservation District supervisors would appear on the November 3 ballot. They do not. The Hardin County Clerk's General Composite Sample Ballot (Sept. 23, 2026) has no supervisor race: three nominating petitions were filed for three seats, and under the Kentucky Soil and Water Conservation Commission's guidance the County Clerk certifies that result without any supervisor names on the ballot. That page has been retired.
About this page. These are the candidates on the November 3, 2026 ballot for this race, in ballot order, from the Hardin County Clerk’s general-election candidate list. Fall interviews are added here as they air. Every candidate on the ballot is listed, interviewed or not.
