Every election, the Clark County Auditor’s Office provides an online and printed voters’ guide with information about candidates and ballot measures for voters to make an informed decision when voting. The February voters’ guide includes local ballot measures with supporting and opposing statements written by citizens.

A legislative body placing a measure on the ballot can appoint a committee to write a supporting statement and another committee to write an opposing statement. But often, the Elections Office does not receive a statement in opposition for a local ballot measure. If the jurisdiction cannot identify anyone to oppose the ballot measure, then the Elections Office attempts to identify citizens interested in writing such a statement.

For the February 2025 special election, the Elections Office has identified six propositions that do not have citizens appointed to write an opposing statement for the following school districts: Battle Ground (one), Evergreen (two), La Center (one) and Ridgefield (two).

To review the complete text of all ballot resolutions and ballot language for the February special election ballot, visit clarkvotes.org and follow the link to Feb. 11, 2025, Special Election Information located near the top of the page.

Any registered voters residing inside the jurisdiction’s boundaries who are interested in writing a statement is asked to contact Rich Cooper of the Clark County Elections Department at (564) 397-2345. The deadline is 3 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 18. 

“The public is best served by providing information which presents a fair and balanced debate on the merits of local measures submitted for a vote,” said Auditor Greg Kimsey. “We urge anyone interested to help us get statements for and against these local measures into the voters’ guide."
