End of election today in Clallam

Clallam County’s three-week election “day” ends tonight with decisions coming on a county assessor, three Port Angeles City Council seats, several school, Port and special district board positions, a Forks hospital bond issue and a countywide real estate sales tax increase.

Also to be decided are six state measures ranging from a gas tax rollback to medical malpractice limits.

The election period has extended from Oct. 19, when the county Auditor’s Office mailed out the first of nearly 44,000 ballots to registered voters countywide, until today at 8 p.m.

Between 35 percent and 40 percent of the ballots have been returned, and most will be tallied tonight after the election period expires at 8 p.m.

For those who haven’t voted, there’s still time today to mail the ballot — as long as it’s postmarked Nov. 8 — or drop it off at one of three locations across the county.

The locations, which will take ballots until 8 p.m., are:

* Clallam County Courthouse, 223 E. Fourth St., Port Angeles. A drive-up dropbox is provided.

* Sequim Motor Vehicle Licensing Office, 1001 E. Washington St., Sequim.

* Forks District Court, 500 E. Division St., Forks.

For voters still making their decisions, the PDN’s free Clallam County General Election Voter Guide is available while supplies last at several locations across the county as well as PDN offices in Port Angeles and Sequim.
