Today is decision day for school levies

Mail ballots are due today for property tax levy measures proposed by eight Clark County school districts to replace their current, expiring levies.

All ballots must be postmarked by day’s end or turned in at one of 36 ballot drop locations across the county. Elections workers will be present at those sites from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.

For details, see: http://www.co.clark.wa.us/elections.

Locations include the Clark County Elections Office at 1408 Franklin St. in Vancouver and a nearby drop box on West 14th Street near Esther Street.

Any ballot received after 8 p.m. will not be valid.

Woodland school voters in Cowlitz County may return ballots near the city’s utility payment drop box, at the municipal parking lot at Davidson and Second Street.

All Clark County school districts save for Green Mountain and Hockinson have levy measures on the ballot.

On Monday, Clark County elections officials counted 5,072 more ballots, bringing the total returned to 76,275.

That’s a 37 percent turnout.

Another 17,000 ballots are needed to reach the 45 percent turnout rate predicted by Clark County Auditor Greg Kimsey.

The last time so many school levies appeared on the ballot, in February 2006, nearly 17,000 ballots were counted on Election Day and the following day.
