What this office does

Clerk of court. The clerk of court keeps the official records of the county's trial courts: filings, case files, judgments and, in many states, jury lists and court fees. The clerk's office manages the court's finances, issues certain licenses and, in some states, handles probate or small-claims paperwork. The clerk does not decide cases.

This list comes from official election records but may be incomplete. It can miss, for example, late or petition candidates and some city, school and district races. Your official sample ballot is the final word.
