OFFICIALS ARE LOOKING FOR PEOPLE TO SERVE ON SPECIAL COMMITTEES

Three ballot measures that call for changes in the Yakima city Charter and an important proposition will appear on the November ballot. Officials with the Yakima County Elections Division are looking for people who want to serve on "for" and "against" committees for the ballot measures that will appear on the November 2 ballot. The committees are limited to three members and it's easy to become a committee member.

IT'S EASY TO SIGN UP ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS SEND AN EMAIL

All you have to do is send an email saying you'd like to serve. Election officials say appointments will be made in the order the office receives email. They also say the first person appointed will serve as the committee chair/spokesperson.
