In re the Oral Petition of Anabelle C. BARKMAN Requesting that the Bedford County Board of Elections be Compelled to Permit her to Vote in the 1998 Primary Election as a Non-partisan. Annabelle C. Barkman, Appellant.

Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania.

Decided March 12, 1999.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Thomas Alan Linzey, Shippensburg, for appellant.

Douglas R. Goldhaber, Everett, for appellee.

Before SMITH, J., KELLEY, J., and McCLOSKEY, Senior Judge.


SMITH, Judge.

Annabelle C. Barkman appeals from an order of the Court of Common Pleas of Bedford County that denied her oral petition to the trial court on primary election day to compel the local election board to permit her to vote on any available ballot, although she was registered as a non-partisan. Because Barkman was registered non-partisan, the judge of elections told her that she could not vote on either the Democratic or Republican primary ballot.
