Miscellaneous (3)L wlitz ountly uditor TO: Local Junior Taxing Districts FROM: Kristina K. Swanson, County Auditor DATE: June 8, 1999 RE: Primary Election, September 14, 1999 KRISTINA K. SWANSON, Auditcr SYLVIA A. WENDELIN, Chief Deputy Each junior taxing district in Cowlitz County has the potential to become involved in the Primary Election scheduled for September 14, 1999. On Friday, July 30, at the close of the week for candidates to file Declarations of Candidacy, a Primary election will be held in each jurisdiction that has three or more candidates file for the same office. Each jurisdiction in Cowlitz County also has the option of placing ballot measures on the Primary ballot if a resolution is submitted by Friday, July 30, 1999. State law allows the County Auditor to conduct the Primary election by mail with the concurrence of the legislative authority of each jurisdiction. Because we are unable to know whether each jurisdiction will be involved in the Primary election until the end of July, we are asking that you consider passing a resolution to conduct the Primary election by mail at your next meeting as preparation of ballots begin the first week of August. To help facilitate this, I have included a draft vote by mail resolution which you may consider using. Please note that if one jurisdiction fails to pass a resolution asking that their Primary election be by mail, we will be required to conduct the Primary election at the polling places. The Primary election is the only election this fall that can be conducted entirely by mail. Elections conducted by mail have proven to increase voter participation and reduce costs. I have enclosed an Election Differential Cost Breakdown sheet created from the Special Election recently held on May 18, 1999 for the City of Longview. The goal of this breakout of costs wasn't to reflect the total costs involved in an election but rather to show the difference in costs between absentee voting and poll site voting with regards to turnout and "cost per vote ". At this particular election, more than 92% of the total turnout came from mail balloting. The attached draft resolution is an opportunity to utilize tax dollars more efficiently for our citizens. Please consider approval of this resolution for the upcoming Primary election and return to my office as soon as possible. Thank you. COUNTY ADMINISTRATION BUILDING 207 1OURT- AVENUE NORM • KELSO.
