LOCAL VOTERS’ PAMPHLET


Primary - September 19, 2006

Published by the Whatcom County Auditor’s Office — www.co.whatcom.wa.us/auditor


Dear Whatcom County Voters:

In the November 2005 General Election, Whatcom County voters approved an amendment to the Whatcom
County Charter that adds a duty on the Auditor to publish and distribute a Local Voters’ Pamphlet for
primary and general elections.

We are very excited that this is the first Local Voters’ Pamphlet in Whatcom County’s history! Inside you will
find candidate’s photos and statements as well as statements on a ballot issue. Please review the Local Voters’
Pamphlet for details regarding voting in the primary, registering to vote, change of address, drop site locations
and other important information.

For the first time in Whatcom County we will be using a consolidated ballot for the Primary Election. Court
decisions require a “pick-a-party” primary. The system requires you to select a party ballot if you wish to vote
for candidates in a partisan office. You can only vote for the candidates of the one political party you select for
the primary. Your privacy will be protected; the political party you choose for the primary will not go on record.
Your opportunity to vote for candidates for non-partisan offices is not affected. Remember, this change applies
only to the primary election.

If you have not received your ballot fifteen (15) days prior to the election, please call the Elections Division of
the Whatcom County Auditor’s Office at 360-676-6742 to have a replacement ballot mailed to you. Please
help us ensure that you receive your ballot by notifying Elections if your mailing address has recently changed.
Feel free to call if you have any questions about the voting process and/or your ballot.

AN IMPORTANT REMINDER: To ensure your vote will be counted, your ballot needs to be postmarked
no later than Election Day. If you prefer, you may drop your ballot off at the curbside Ballot Drop Box, 311
Grand Ave. near the Courthouse Rotunda, Bellingham, WA or at the Whatcom County Auditor’s Office, 311
Grand Ave., Suite 103, Bellingham, beginning 20 days prior to the election. The curbside Ballot Drop Box and
the Drop Box at the Auditor’s Office will close at 8:00 p.m. on Election Day. Please refer to the Local Voters’
Pamphlet for drop site locations open on Election Day only.

I would like to praise Whatcom County voters for their approval of a Local Voters’ Pamphlet.
Knowledge empowers you to make informed choices that ultimately shape the future governing of our
community, state, and nation.

Sincerely,

Shirley Forslof
Whatcom County Auditor

STEP 3: Mailing Envelope. Place


the white secrecy envelope inside the lavender return envelope.

STEP 4: Sign The Oath. Read and sign the affidavit on the back of the lavender envelope.
• The lavender envelope must be signed by you
in order for your ballot to be counted.
• Ballot signatures are matched with your
voter registration.
• If a medical or other circumstance has altered
the appearance of your signature, you can
have two people witness your signature (or
mark) on your ballot envelope.

STEP 5: Protect Your Privacy. Seal the envelope so the privacy flap covers your signature
as indicated on the envelope.

STEP 6: Mail Your Ballot. Affix a first-class postage stamp before you deposit your ballot
in the mail.

• To assure your vote will be counted, your ballot needs to be postmarked


no later than Election Day or deposited at a drop site location by 8:00 p.m
on Election Day.


Accessible Voting Unit

What is an Accessible Voting Unit?


An accessible voting unit (AVU) is federally required. It
is equipped with visual and audio technology that allows
voters with impaired vision and/or physical disabilities
to vote a secret ballot for the first time. The AVU is an
accurate and secure way to vote.

Where will the AVU be located?


The AVU will be located at the Whatcom County
Auditor’s Office, Whatcom County Courthouse,
311 Grand Ave., Suite 103, Bellingham, WA.

When can I vote using the AVU?


You may vote beginning Wednesday, August 30, 2006.
The AVU will be available to vote in the Auditor’s Office
Mon. – Fri., 10:00 a.m. – 3:30 p.m.
The AVU will be available on Election Day, Tuesday,
September 19, 2006, from 7:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m.

Is the AVU secure?


Yes. The AVU stands alone and is not connected to the
Internet or an intranet. When a vote is cast the ballot
selections are encrypted and stored within the voting
unit. The ballot order is scrambled to ensure the voter’s anonymity and leaves no connection between the voter and
his or her recorded vote.

How can I be sure my vote will be counted?


The AVU displays a paper record of your selections before you cast your ballot. Your secret ballot is electronically
stored and it cannot be traced back to you.


Special Notice

When Will Vote By Mail Ballots Be Mailed?


Vote by mail ballots are scheduled to be mailed starting August 30, 2006.
If you have not received your ballot by September 5, 2006, please contact the Whatcom County Elections Division at
(360) 676-6742, Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

entitled, or who falsely signs the affidavit, shall be guilty of a felony, punishable by imprisonment for not more than
five years or a fine of not more than ten thousand dollars, or both fine and imprisonment.

Candidate and Committee Statement Editing


The Local Voters’ Pamphlet includes statements submitted by candidates for local offices and committees “for” (pro)

Ballot Measure

Proposition No. 1, Whatcom County Cemetery District 1


Shall a tax of Ten Cents ($.10) per One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00) of assessed value (based upon One Hundred
Percent (100%) of fair value) to provide Forty Nine Thousand ($49,000.00) Dollars for operations and maintenance
purposes be levied for Whatcom County Cemetery District #1 in 2006, for collection for six years beginning in 2007,
upon all taxable property within the District, all as specified in Cemetery District No. 1 Resolution 01-06?
LEVY, YES
LEVY, NO

Explanatory Statement
Proposition 1 is written to provide Whatcom County Cemetery District #1 with funds for the cost of maintenance,
repair, grounds keeping, record keeping, and to prevent the impairment of obligations on contracts of the District.
The District may use the proceeds during the 2007 calendar year.
The requested amount is ten cents per one thousand dollars of assessed valuation. This amount is proposed in order
to raise a total of approximately forty-nine thousand dollars. This tax must be ratified by voters, as it exceeds the levy
amount allowed without a vote, as detailed in RCW Chapter 84.52.

Statement For: Statement Against:


We, the Commissioners of Cemetery District 1, feel No Statement Submitted
that a levy is necessary in order to keep up with the ris-
ing cost of maintenance, fuel, wages, and insurance and
making sure we can develop a reserve for the future.
This reserve would be used for replacing the current
fencing, putting in a well if necessary in the future,
upgrading current mowers, the purchase of additional
land or any other major expense that might occur. The
sale of cemetery plots do not cover the expense that is
incurred every month, so in order to keep the cemetery
running smoothly and maintained in the current man-
ner that it is now, we urge you to vote for this levy.
