According to the Lewis County Auditor’s Office, 14,172 ballots will be mailed on Wednesday, April 5, to all active registered voters within Centralia School District, which is attempting to pass a levy after the measure failed to garner enough votes earlier this year.
There were 149 military and overseas ballots mailed out March 24.
Ballots should begin arriving in mailboxes the week of April 10-14. The U.S. Postal Service reports it can take up to seven to 10 days for delivery. If ballot packets have not been received by April 15, 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;
