This election conducted by KCCD

  • Do you live in Kittitas County but outside the city limits of Ellensburg, Kittitas, or South Cle Elum?
  • Are you a registered voter?
  • Do you care about the County and its diverse but fragile ecosystems?

If you answered “YES!” to all of the above, please vote in the upcoming February Kittitas County Conservation District election! Unlike other elections in Kittitas County, KCCD elections are NOT conducted by the Kittitas County Auditor and you won’t receive a KCCD ballot unless you ask for one.

To vote for a Kittitas County Conservation District (KCCD) Board member, you must request a ballot to be mailed to you from KCCD no later than January 21st! After the 21st, you can still get a ballot in person at KCCD offices: 2211 W. Dolarway Road, Suite 4, Ellensburg WA 98926.

KCCD Boundary

To mail your completed ballot back to KCCD, you must include postage OR starting January 24th, you can drop your completed ballot at the KCCD office ballot drop box up to and no later than 4:30pm on Feb. 8th (2211 W. Dolarway Road, Suite 4, Ellensburg WA 98926). DO NOT USE Kittitas County ballot drop boxes for a Conservation District election!

Not sure what a Conservation District Board member does? Read this! Confused about why YOU have to request a ballot from the KCCD rather than receive one automatically from the county Auditor? Read this (RCW says so, basically). The full Conservation District election RCW is here.

VOTE in every election in which you are eligible. It strengthens our democracy!
