Lewis County Auditor: Ballots to Be Mailed for April 27 Special Election

Posted

According to the Lewis County Auditor’s Office, 14,620 ballots will be mailed on Wednesday, April 7, to all active registered voters within Centralia School District No. 401 of Lewis and Thurston counties.

That’s in addition to the 142 military and overseas ballots mailed out March 26.

Ballots should begin arriving in mailboxes the week of April 12-16.  The U.S. Postal Service says it can take up to seven to 10 days for delivery. If ballot packets have not been received by April 16, voters can receive a replacement ballot by any of the following methods:

• Online: Go to www.votewa.gov, log in and select “My Ballot” then “Online Ballot” to print your replacement ballot packet.

• Call 360-740-1164, 360-740-1278 or toll free within Lewis County at 1-800-562-6130, ext. 1164 or ext. 1278.



• In-person: 351 NW North St., Chehalis.

Office hours are 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. The office is open on election day from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.

If an individual has moved, they may contact the office to update their voter registration or go online to www.votewa.gov. If there is a forwarding order in place with the U.S. Postal Service, the ballot packet will be forwarded but may take more time going through the forwarding process.

The Centralia School District is making a third attempt at passing a school levy after two previous failures.
