LOW TURNOUT IN CLACKAMAS COUNTY, JUST 20.3% OF VOTERS CAST BALLOTS IN SPECIAL DISTRICT ELECTION
Clackamas County reported a mere 20.3% voter turnout in the Tuesday Special District Election.
According to Clackamas County Elections, 62,268 ballots had been counted by Wednesday afternoon, reflecting what seems to be a declining trend in civic participation.
Amid the casting of ballots, taken as of the unofficial election results at 3:19 p.m. on May 21, the county clerk appreciated the effort of those behind the democratic process.
"The majority of eligible voters decided not to participate in yesterday’s special district election. Our local elections are an opportunity for citizens to weigh in on how to allocate local resources and choose local leaders who will make important decisions for school, water and fire districts," County Clerk Catherine McMullen stated, as reported by the official county news update.
