Clallam County has no Tuesday election

PORT ANGELES — Clallam County is the only county in Washington state that has no special elections on Tuesday.

No resolutions for levies or bond measures were filed with the Auditor’s Office.

Jefferson County has four measures for three public school districts on its ballot: A 12.3 million school construction bond measure for the Quilcene School District, two replacement levies for the Port Townsend School District, and a replacement educational programs and operations (EP&O) levy for the Brinnon School District.

Ballots must be returned by 8 p.m. Tuesday — either hand-delivered to drop boxes or mailed in time to carry a Tuesday postmark — to be counted in the election.

About 16,306 ballots were mailed to registered voters on Jan. 19. The Jefferson County Auditor’s Office reported Friday that more than 5,500 had been returned, a voter turnout so far of about 34 percent.
