Vote-by-Mail Ballots Mailed

May 9, 2012 – Our trucks are being loaded and vote-by-mail ballots are heading out to voters this afternoon. We are mailing 650,000 total in our permanent vote-by-mail files. In addition, we are mailing ballots to no-party preference voters who have requested a party ballot (17,000 total). We make sure the majority of sample ballots have reached voters so they have access to candidate statements before this crucial mailing.
