Military, overseas ballots mailed

PASCO — Franklin County election staff has mailed the military and overseas ballots for the Aug. 2nd primary election.

We anticipate mailing ballots to all Franklin County registered voters no later than Friday, July 15, Franklin County Auditor Matt Beaton said Friday.

As county auditor, Beaton also oversees the election process, among other duties.

Beaton encouraged voters to return ballots prior to election day, rather than waiting.

However, ballots may be dropped off in official drop boxes until 8 p.m. on election day.

Election information including measures and ballot drop box locations is available on the Franklin County website www.co.franklin.wa.us/elections, Beaton said.
