There is one Whatcom Conservation District Board position open for election.
Ballots have been mailed for those who requested one, so you should have it now – or soon. To be counted, all mailed ballots must be postmarked on or before election day, March 26. NOTE: not all mail is postmarked the day it is deposited with the post office due to changes to its mail-handling process. More information follows below.
If you don’t have a mail-in ballot, you can still vote on election day, March 26th!
Summary information & links below are all from the complete WCD election website.
