Entries for each elective office or referendum include the title of office open to election or proposition submitted for referendum; names of candidates; names of county or counties involved in election; number of votes received by each candidate or proposition by county, date, and election type (e.g., special, general). Occassionally party affiliation is given for each candidate. Also included for federal and state legislative and judicial offices is the open office's district number. For all non-county elections the vote total received by each candidate or proposition from all involved counties is entered. Referenda presented to the voters concern such matters as the issuance of bonds; amendments to the state constitution; road taxation, and adoption of township organization. After 1940 entries for county offices and referenda cease.
