Judges and school boards are nonpartisan so they will be on every ballot.

Sumter County Commissioner candidates are all Republican. The winner of the primary will be the only name on the ballot in November. Effectively, for these positions, the August primary is the entire election. Therefore, these will be on every ballot.

If you are seeing DEM on the ballot for Senate, Governor, Attorney General, and Commissioner of Agriculture then you must be looking at a Democratic Party ballot.

OH! I think I understand what you are saying. If there is only one Republican candidate for a position, say DeSantis for Governor, then I don't know if the single name would be listed on the ballot. It wouldn't mean that only Democrats are running for the position, it would mean that there is only one Republican running for the position so there is no need to choose him/her in the primary. But I don't know, I can't see the Republican primary ballot.
