SOUTH WHIDBEY RECORD: No primary election will be held on Whidbey Island
Island County Elections Supervisor Michele Reagan announced there will be no primary election this year because due to the recent last-minute shuffling of candidates, there are no positions on the ballot with more than two candidates.
Elections Supervisor Reagan also announced there will be a special three-day filing period in early August for people to sign up for 10 positions that nobody filed for during the regular filing period. These positions with no candidates are seats on the boards for the Port of Coupeville and South Whidbey Fire/EMS, as well as various water and sewer district positions. Visit the Island County Elections Office website for a listing of these positions and information on how to file. Jessie Stensland has the story in the South Whidbey Record.
