Ready or not, voting in primary election begins this week
EVERETT — Voters, roll up your sleeves. You’ve got some work to do as the 2020 primary gets under way this week.
Ballots for the Aug. 4 election will be mailed Thursday to roughly 485,000 registered voters in Snohomish County. Also this week, the county is sending out its voter pamphlets which contain statements from candidates and information on finance measures in three area school districts.
Voters will be narrowing the field in contests for federal, state and local offices. They’ll also be deciding the fate of a $317.4 million construction bond measure in the Everett School District and levies in the Lakewood and Darrington school districts.
County Auditor Garth Fell said he is looking for a turnout of around 40 percent which would be in line with past primaries in a presidential election year.
