19 of 24 County Charter Amendments Lead in Four Washington Counties
Updated returns in Washington state on Nov. 7 showed 19 of 24 charter amendments in four counties on track to pass, focused on county governance, accountability and fiscal oversight reforms. The amendments come from Clallam County (3), Clark County (9), Pierce County (7) and Snohomish County (5); thousands of ballots remain to be processed in each county, with results to be certified Nov. 24. One Clallam County amendment had 14,622 votes in favor as of the evening of Nov. 6, 68.29% of votes on that measure. About 49,000 ballots remain in Clark County, 18,000 in Clallam, 31,000 in Snohomish and 2,000 in Pierce; counting continues Nov. 7 or next Tuesday. The amendments concern budgeting, financial oversight and official accountability, part of the local results emerging after the Nov. 3 general election. Of Washington's 39 counties, only these four put charter amendments on the ballot. Election officials say close measures could still change as remaining ballots are counted, with the Nov. 24 certification controlling.
