Beginning at 9 am Wednesday, Aug. 2, elections officials will perform a hand count of approximately 600 ballots randomly selected as part of a manual comparison against machine results for the Aug. 1, 2023, Primary and Special Election.

For this comparison, a race in the City of Battle Ground will be counted by hand, to check the accuracy of the ballot tabulation equipment. The selected ballots will be included in the total returns on Election Day.

Only voters registered within the City of Battle Ground, City of Woodland, Fire Protection District 3 and Fire Protection District 5 are eligible to vote in this election. If a voter has not received their ballot, they should contact the Elections Office at 564.397.2345 or elections@clark.wa.gov.

A voter may download a replacement ballot at VoteWA.gov and click on Online Ballot. The voter must print the declaration sheet and ballot and return it by following the instructions.
