OUR EARLIER STORY:
THERE IS ONLY one vote count for each of the primary election races in Jefferson and Clallam counties tonight — and those counts will be announced as soon as available after 8 p.m. at www.peninsuladailynews.com. (Vote processing begins at 8:01 p.m.)
In addition to vote tallies, we’ll have a wrapup articles and separate stories at our website on each of the races, with reaction from those involved in the campaigns.
The election is mail-only. Ballots must be postmarked by today or put in a drop box by no later than 8 p.m.
None of the measures on the Jefferson or Clallam ballots is countywide, so only voters in the specific jurisdictions received mail ballots.
After tonight, the next vote counts will be Thursday and/or Friday.
