A "One off" Election

This week in the world of Whatcom County Elections, we pull a "one-off".  If you would like to vote by mail in the Whatcom County Conservation District election you must transfer the information from your page on "Voter Registration Details" at  myvote.wa.gov to this registration page  at the Whatcom County Conservation District . You add your phone number and email and a ballot should be mailed to you. YOU MUST DO THIS BY 4:00 PM FEBRUARY 14TH if you wish to receive a ballot by mail. If you have been made inactive because of a returned ballot or move, this is good time to fix that first at myvote.wa.gov  or call the Whatcom Elections office for help.

Why isn't this election run by the Whatcom County auditor and scheduled for a convenient primary or general election ballot? Cost is apparently an issue as are WCD RCW election requirements.  WA state law allows all Conservation Districts in the state to run their own elections.  

Your Ballot Will Be Mailed to You

12:17 PM 2/12/2017 update to the original post: I just talked with Executive Director George Boggs of the Whatcom Conservation District. Essentially, George says they are ready; bring on the votes. George wants everyone to know and learn about the importance of the Whatcom Conservation District!

Heather Christianson

I don't know if that many will participate in this election, but I hope you are one of them! There are currently three candidates. One of them is Democrat PCO Heather Christianson  whose has a very nice website here: https://www.peopleforheather.com .  Heather has told me that:

"If you do not ask for an absentee ballot, you may vote in person at the District office at 6975 Hannegan Road on March 14, between 9:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. "

Heather has also told me that:

"I have been certified as a Democrat candidate by the Whatcom County Democrat's chair, Barbara Lewis, at the recommendation of the Executive Board." 

 Here is another picture of Heather:
