The Yakima County Auditors office says 2 write-in candidates in the Primary Election must gain 1% of the vote to move on to the General Election in November. Yakima County Elections Manager Kathy Fisher says both however are undeclared write-in candidates.
"Which means that any write-in vote cast for them has to be very specific."
In other words Fisher says if you are writing in a person's name it needs to be the full name and spelled as correctly as possible because Fisher says there could be another registered voter with a similar name so to avoid a problem the Auditors office won't count the vote. People are considered undeclared write-in candidates when they miss the declared candidate filing time that ended on July 18th.
Republican Scott Brumback is running as a write-in candidate for the 14th Legislative District seat held by Representitive Norm Johnson.Republican Curt Vangstad is a write-in candidate for the Yakima County Commssioners' seat held by Rand Elliot in District 3. The Primary Election is next tuesday. Turnout in Yakima County is expected to be around 34%.
