NOT ALL REGISTERED VOTERS HAVE A BALLOT TO VOTE

Yakima County Auditor Charles Ross says not all voters received a ballot in the primary election, only those voters who live in a district with more than two candidates running for a position have a ballot to vote.

Along with the city council races in Yakima, a seat in District 3 on the Board of Yakima County Commissioners is up for grabs and 2 seats are open on the Yakima School District Board of Directors.
Ross expects a 25 to 28% turnout for the election.
