Vancouver, Wash. – Beginning at 8:30 a.m. Wednesday, Feb. 15, Elections officials will perform a hand count of approximately 600 ballots that were randomly selected as part of a manual comparison against machine results.

Results of the approximately 600 ballots will be counted in the total returns on Election Day, but for this comparison, the Vancouver School District measure also will be counted by hand to prove the accuracy of the ballot tabulation equipment.

The procedure was recommended by Washington Secretary of State’s Office and is now standard procedure in Clark County.

If a voter has not received a ballot, he or she should contact the Elections Office at (360) 397-2345 or email elections@clark.wa.gov.

Ballots cannot be forwarded. If a voter has recently moved and the Elections Office did not receive a change of address, the ballot will be returned as undeliverable.

Starting Friday, Feb. 10, a voter may download a replacement ballot at clarkvotes.org. The voter must print the ballot and return it following instructions included in the download. Click on Need a Replacement Ballot? to get started.
