Voters can get their completed ballot delivered through numerous scenarios
Vancouver has made national news with the recent arson attack on a ballot box in Fisher’s Landing which destroyed hundreds of ballots. Campaigns from both parties have been communicating to voters to quickly check their ballot status if they dropped theirs in that particular box and to go to the elections office to get a new ballot if necessary.
The Clark County Republican Party is encouraging Republican voters to do the same.
In our current system for voting, ballots are sent in the mail. From there, voters can get their completed ballot delivered through numerous scenarios.
1) They can mail them back to the elections office without postage cost
2) They can drop them off in a red ballot box
3) They can deliver them in person at the elections office
4) Someone can deliver their ballot for them
“Additionally it’s worth noting that in Whitman County, hundreds of ballots have been lost in the mail,’’ read a statement from CCRP Chairman Matt Bumala Wednesday. “While we all have had personal experiences with things not coming through the mail correctly, this election is very important both locally and nationally. If possible, we encourage voters to deliver their ballot in person at the elections office or have someone deliver it for them. It’s important that we emphasize that you should not wait until the last minute to vote. Do it as soon as possible. Our party has been actively connecting with voters to help assist if needed.
“Lastly, the four initiatives on the ballot can appear confusing by the way it’s worded,’’ Bumala added. “We encourage everyone to vote ‘YES’ on Initiatives 2066, 2109, 2117 and 2124. There’s a good reason that Washington voters were able to get these on the ballot in the first place. It’s important we get them across the finish line.’’
