WHATCOM COUNTY, WA (MyBellinghamNow.com) – If you’re voting in this month’s special election, you’ve got a week to get your ballot turned in.

The Whatcom County Auditor’s Office is reminding voters in Lynden that ballots are due by next Tuesday, April 28.

KGMI previously reported the Lynden School District placed a capital levy on the ballot to help fund public school upgrades.

If approved, it would raise $25.5 million over four years to address what the district has deemed “high-priority needs,” including upgrades to classroom capacity, security, technology and basic infrastructure.

As of Monday, April 20, the Auditor’s Office has received almost 3,000 ballots.

Ballots must be postmarked by Election Day or dropped off in an official drop box by 8 p.m.
