Beginning at 10 am Wednesday, Nov. 6, elections officials will perform an audit of approximately 600 ballots randomly selected as part of a manual comparison against machine results.  

For this comparison, approximately 600 ballots from the 3rd Congressional District race will be counted by hand, to confirm that the ballot tabulation equipment tabulated votes properly. The selected ballots will be counted in the total returns on Election Day. 

Beginning at 9 am Tuesday, Nov. 19, elections officials will participate in a statewide risk limiting audit. This audit randomly selects ballots to manually compare against the voting system’s tabulated results.  

Citizens can register or update their registration until 8 pm on election day, Nov. 5 and receive a ballot for this General election, but must do so in person at the elections office at 1408 Franklin St. in downtown Vancouver. 

If a voter has not received their ballot, they should contact the Elections Office at 564.397.2345 or elections@clark.wa.gov.

A voter may download a replacement ballot at VoteWA.gov. Sign in using your name and date of birth. Click “Your Ballot and Voting Materials” and then click “Get a Replacement Ballot”. The voter must print the declaration sheet and ballot and return it by following the instructions.

The Elections Office is open Monday through Friday from 8 am until 5 pm and will be open Saturday, Nov. 2, from 9am until 4 pm. On Tuesday, Nov. 5, the Elections Office is open from 7 am until 8 pm.
