ISLAND COUNTY: Offices Open for Election 2021
The Island County Elections office released a list of 66 elective offices that are up for election in 2021. These office range from city and town council positions in Oak Harbor, Langley, and Coupeville to commissioners in a variety of water districts around the county.
The Island County Public Hospital District Commissioner (position 2) is the office with the largest constituency up for election; all of Whidbey Island will participate in this election.
