PDN Voter Guides tailored for Clallam and Jefferson counties to debut Friday

Just in time as ballots in the all-mail general election arrive in most voters’ mailboxes, the Peninsula Daily News will publish a guide to help with voters’ important decision-making.

Actually two guides — one for Jefferson County, including the home-rule charter freeholder election — and one for Clallam County.

Each county’s Auditor’s Office will mail out ballots Wednesday, and the General Election Voter Guide will appear with Friday morning’s Jefferson and Clallam editions of the PDN.

Each magazine-style Voter Guide will provide information on candidates as well as local and statewide measures in the election that ends Nov. 5 at 8 p.m.

After Friday, complimentary copies will be available at courthouses and other public points, and online versions for both Jefferson and Clallam counties will appear here at www.peninsuladailynews.com.

All we ask is that you inform yourself on the candidates and issues, and then vote.

The General Election Voter Guides are prepared and published as a public service by the Peninsula Daily News and contain no political advertising.

The lighthouse was built in 1878 when Congress approved $8,000 for the light and foghorns. Although the facility is still an active U.S. Coast Guard station, the equipment is monitored and operated remotely and no keepers are present. Regular tours on Saturdays and Sundays will resume in May. (Steve Mullensky/for Peninsula Daily News)
