Bonds, levy on the line in Tuesday vote

Time is running out to vote in this month’s special election.

Ballots for Evergreen, Battle Ground and La Center school district voters, and the city of Camas, are due by 8 p.m. Tuesday.

As of Friday, 22.3 percent of 147,052 eligible Clark County voters had returned their ballots.

Here’s a look at what’s on the ballot:

• Voters who live in the Battle Ground Public Schools boundaries are considering a $224.9 million bond to replace schools, build a new school and make improvements across the district.

• Evergreen Public Schools voters are considering a $695 million bond that would replace schools, build a new school and make district-wide improvements. It would also pay for a new central administrative office.

• La Center School District voters are considering a $48 million bond that would build a new middle school and convert the district’s existing K-8 school into an elementary school.

• Camas voters are considering whether or not to renew the city’s expiring emergency medical services property tax levy for six years starting in 2019. That levy is slated to cost taxpayers 46 cents per $1,000 in assessed property value, and covers ambulances and emergency transportation.

Ballots can be dropped off 24 hours a day until 8 p.m. tomorrow at any of the seven red permanent ballot drop boxes. On election day, from 7 a.m. until polls close, you can drop off ballots at some elementary schools and community buildings or at the Clark County Elections Department.
