Less than a fifth of the ballots sent out for Tuesday’s election for school board, fire department and other special district positions have been filled out and returned.
A total of 12,051 ballots had been turned in by this morning. That represents 18.7 percent of the 64,587 ballots mailed out to Douglas County registered voters.
Voters have until 8 p.m. on Election Day to turn in their ballots to the county elections office in the basement of the Douglas County Courthouse and other locations.
Dozens of school board, fire district, water, sanitary and other volunteer board positions will be decided in the election.
In addition, Oakland schools are seeking approval of a $775,000 bond for facility improvements and the city of Oakland is seeking approval of a new charter. The Glendale Sanitary District is seeking approval of a five-year option tax to maintain services.
In Roseburg, a 24-hour drop box is located in the county-owned parking lot at the corner of Diamond Lake Boulevard and Fowler Street, across from the Douglas County Library. Other 24-hour drive-up boxes are located outside city halls in Sutherlin and Myrtle Creek and at the Douglas County Annex in Reedsport.
Boxes are also located inside city halls in Canyonville, Glendale, Yoncalla and Winston. Those locations will be open Tuesday until the 8 p.m. deadline.
Results will be posted online at www.nrtoday.com after the first results are released, about 8:15 p.m.
