The watch of delegate totals for each of the U.S. presidential candidates seemingly highlights the news these days, and with the Pennsylvania primary election on Tuesday, area voters will participate in that roll call since both the Democratic and Republican ballots have multiple candidates listed for delegate and alternate delegate positions.

Party rules dictate how delegates get elected, and, in the Democratic Party, candidates are listed as being officially committed to a certain candidate. In both parties, the delegates are elected by congressional districts.When Democrats go to vote, they will see the names of delegate candidates, and under their name on the ballot will be the listing of who that candidate is committed to.As for the Republicans, delegate candidates simply get their names on the ballots, but they do not have to declare a commitment.Here's what the ballots will look like in Carbon County, depending upon which congressional district a voter resides:11th DistrictIn the 11th Congressional District, three men and three women will be elected delegates to the Democratic National Convention to be held in Philadelphia.The candidates are:Committed to Hillary Clinton: Rogette Harris, Alex Reber, Peter Good, Michelle Sellitto and Pam Zidik.Committed to Bernie Sanders: Cheryl Marshall, Eric Z.
