General election voting ends today
Posted November 8, 2022 at 6:45 am by Jeff Arnim
San Juan Islanders will determine the fate of the Library District bond, the County road levy increase, the Sheriff’s race, and four County charter propositions today as mail-in voting for the Nov. 8 general election concludes.
As of 5 p.m. on Nov. 7, 45.5 percent of the 14,628 eligible voters in San Juan County have returned their ballot — only the 14th-highest return rate among Washington’s 39 counties.
Remaining ballots must be submitted by 8 p.m. tonight. In-person drop-off is available at the County Elections Office at 55 Second St., or across the street from the Elections Office at the ballot drop-box in front of the County Courthouse.
Returning ballots by mail requires no postage, but they must be postmarked with a Nov. 8 date. The last scheduled mail collection at the post office in Friday Harbor is 3 p.m.
The Elections Office will release preliminary results some time after 8 p.m. tonight. They will periodically update the results as additional ballots are counted. Election certification occurs on Nov. 29.
