PORT ANGELES — Tuesday is the final day for voters to turn in ballots for the Washington primary elections.
Clallam County has 24 contested races this year, including a U.S. Senate seat, Congressional District 6, the state governor and state legislative seats, county commissioner and several state and local judicial positions.
A proposed sales tax hike to build a new police station is on Sequim ballots, and a proposed bond measure to rehabilitate Civic Field is on Port Angeles ballots.
Ballots must be postmarked by Tuesday; hand-delivered to the Auditor’s Office at the County Courthouse at 223 E. Fourth St., Port Angeles; or placed in a ballot drop-box no later than 8 p.m. that day.
Drop-boxes are outside the courthouse, in the Forks District Court lobby at 502 E. Division St. and at Sequim City Hall at 152 W. Cedar St.
As of Friday, the Clallam County Auditor Patty Rosand reported that her office had received 9,723 of the 45,850 ballots it has issued for the election, for a voter turnout of 21.21 percent.
Any voter who did not receive a Clallam County ballot should call the Auditor’s Office at 360-417-2221 or visit the office to pick up a replacement.
Voters can also print a replacement ballot by going to www.clallam.net/elections, and clicking on “My Vote.”
