The Yakima County Auditors Office has sent out 17,000 ballots for the Tuesday special election. Voters in Mabton, Highland and Selah are being urged to fill out ballots and return them to the auditors office by 8:00 pm Tuesday.
Yakima County Auditor Charles Ross says military ballots will be sent out on September 23 and all other ballots will be sent to voters in October for the upcoming general election.
According to the numbers posted on Washington Secretary of State Kim Wyman's website, Yakima County failed to pull up the rear when it came to turning out the vote in yesterday's election.
