'Voter friendly' election ballots set to go out for Snohomish County voters
EVERETT — Ballots for the Aug. 5 primary election will be mailed Thursday to approximately 470,000 registered voters in Snohomish County, according to a press release.
Voters should begin to see their ballots by the end of this week. Some ballots are expected to arrive this weekend or by early next week, the county said. In June, more than 7,600 ballots were mailed to military and overseas voters.
The Aug. 5 primary ballot features local races for county, city, schools and fire districts. In the race for Everett mayor, three candidates are seeking to unseat incumbent Cassie Franklin. City council seats are also up for grabs in Everett, Edmonds and Lynnwood.
“Local elections have a direct impact on the communities we live in, and your participation in the August 5 Primary is an important step in determining which candidates will move on to the November General Election,” Snohomish County Auditor Garth Fell said in the press release. “The candidates we elect this year will shape the priorities for our county, cities, schools, and other local districts.”
