CONSERVATION DISTRICT MARCH SPECIAL ELECTION

Conservation Districts run their own elections for board supervisor positions.

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 March Kittitas County Conservation District special election for Board Supervisor. 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.

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.
