Be sure to let the Elections Office know where to send your ballot for the August election if you'll be away from your regular mailing address.
The “Yes for School” Committee is posting flyers, such as the one displayed here, to make sure island voters’ mail-in ballots will get to them when they’re mailed out in July.
On the ballot is the Orcas Island School District’s Capital Bond issue for $27 million dollars, among other issues. The Orcas Island School District Board is requesting authorization of the bond to pay for needed repairs to the elementary and high school buildings and rebuild the middle school, cafeteria, library, OASIS high school and shop classrooms.
County Elections Supervisor Doris Schaller reminds voters that their ballots will be sent to their registered addresses and will not be forwarded by the Post Office. If voters know they will be at another address when the ballots arrive at the end of July, they are asked to call the Elections Office at 378-3357 and inform them of the correct address to receive their ballot.
To register, or to check your registration and mailing address, go to www.vote.wa.gov.
