CLATSOP LAST CALL FOR NOV. 4 GENERAL ELECTION BALLOTS

   Time is running out to return ballots for the Nov. 4 General Election.

Ballots for the election must be returned by 8 p.m. Tuesday in order to be counted. To ensure their ballots arrive on time, voters are advised to bring completed ballots to one of the approved drop sites. Ballots placed in the mail before the deadline but not delivered until after will not be counted.

Voters are also reminded to complete and return both their original ballots as well as their supplemental ballots. The supplemental ballots were sent out Oct. 24 to correct errors to two issues on the original ballot – Measure 4-176, the Clatsop Community College bond measure, and the Cannon Beach city council race between Mike Benefield and George Vetter. Votes cast for either issue on the original ballot will not be tallied – only votes marked on the supplemental ballot will be counted.
