Primary: Votes will not be tallied until after May 17 deadline
Continued from Page 1A
the primary because the U.S.
Postal Service cannot guaran-
tee on-time delivery for ballots
postmarked after Thursday.
Voters who want to partici-
pate in the primary must cast
their ballots at one of the drop-
off sites around the state or at a
county clerk’s ofice.
Drop-off locations are
posted on the websites of the
Secretary of State’s Ofice and
county clerk’s ofices. Bal-
lots may be dropped off at
any county clerk’s ofice in
the state, regardless of the vot-
er’s place of residence. The
county clerk who receives the
ballot will mark it as submit-
ted on time and deliver it to the
county clerk’s ofice where the
voter is registered to vote.
• Election workers have
already processed nearly 25
percent of ballots in the state,
but the votes will not be tal-
lied until after the May 17
deadline. In the meantime,
processed ballots are stored
electronically in card readers,
Burgess said.
“If we start releasing num-
bers, it might alter the way
people vote,” Burgess said.
• A small percentage
of ballots cannot be pro-
cessed, because voters either
neglected to sign their bal-
lots, or their signatures don’t

match their voter registration
card.
In Multnomah County, less
than 1 percent of the 110,000
ballots received by Friday
lacked signatures or have mis-
matched signatures, said Eric
Sample, spokesman for the
county’s elections division.
Challenged ballots are sep-
arated from the rest, so that
county clerk’s ofices can
reach out to those voters to
add a signature or resubmit
a signature. Many of those
votes will be counted after
deadline. County clerks have
until June 6 to compile and
certify results. That includes
counting what is expected to
be an unprecedented number
of write-in votes, said Molly
Woon, Secretary of State
spokeswoman.
• Earlier this month, the
Secretary of State’s Ofice
warned that voters who
changed their party afilia-
tions close to the April 26
voter registration deadline
might receive two ballots. The
issue occurs because county
clerks across the state begin
to prepare ballots for mailing
two weeks before the registra-
tion deadline. After the regis-
tration deadline, clerks send
out smaller batches of ballots
to the group of people who
changed their registration
close to the deadline.
Voters should use the bal-
lots that relect their most
recent registrations, which in
many cases is the second bal-
lot that arrived in the mail,
according to the Secretary of
State’s Ofice.
“It’s normal for our county
clerks to receive a late lood
of party registration changes
in the days leading up to a pri-
mary election,” Secretary of
State Jeanne Atkins said in a
written statement earlier this
month.
Val Unger, Polk County
clerk and president of the Ore-
gon Association of County
Clerks, agreed. “It’s that
interesting anomaly that hap-
pens every primary election,”
Unger said.
Unger said county elec-
tions workers will identify any
instances of a voter turning in
two ballots, because there is a
bar code on every ballot.
When a voter sends in the
irst ballot issued under their
previous party registration,
elections workers will set it
aside and wait to see if the
voter turns in the second bal-
lot that relects their current
registration. In these cases,
elections workers will only
count the ballot with the vot-
er’s current party registration.
If a voter only sends in a
ballot issued under the previ-
ous party registration that is
no longer correct, elections
workers will make a copy of
that ballot that only includes
the voter’s choices in nonpar-
tisan races.
“They should at least get to
vote on something, so they’ll
get to vote on the non-partisan
races or candidates,” Unger
said. “But we do hold it in
case they send the right one.”
“It’s really hard to avoid
the second ballot issue,”
Unger said. “It’s essentially
impossible.”

crisis in the city and writing staff
reports for the City Council.
As a member of the
Community
Develop-
ment Department, Ferber is
involved with some of the
city’s biggest issues, includ-
ing the future of Heritage
Square and the Astoria Pub-
lic Library.
“I’m never bored,” she
said. “It’s a lot of hats for
one position, which is the fun
part.”
The Portland native
joined the city in December
after working in Minneapo-
lis as a project manager. Fer-
ber worked for The Musicant
Group — a placemaking and
public space management
irm. She helped develop
wayinding signs for a his-
toric downtown district, and
spearheaded a public engage-
ment process for a streets-
cape redevelopment project.
She also planned and
coordinated the irst public
“parklets” with the Minneap-
olis Ofice of Public Works
and Planning and Economic
Department.
She graduated from the
University of Minnesota with
a master’s degree in urban
and regional planning. She
earned a bachelor’s degree
in geography from Portland
State University.
“I knew I wanted to go
into planning,” she said.
Working in city planning
has been rewarding for Fer-
ber. She enjoys how the work
connects people to places,
and how it is a solution-based
job.
Her work is twofold
between helping people with
their day-to-day building
projects and working on big
picture, citywide projects.
Recently, she has been
getting a number of calls
about vacation rentals and
food carts.
“There is so much going
on here,” she said.
As she settles into the new
position, much of her day is
meeting community mem-
bers and getting to know the
area through site visits.
Ferber describes herself as
goal-oriented, and has some
plans for her position. Spe-
ciically, she wants to engage
more people on social media
through the Community
Development Department’s
Facebook page.
Coming from the bicy-
cle-friendly cities of Port-
land and Minneapolis, Ferber
said, she would like to see
more opportunities for bicy-
clists in Astoria.
“We don’t have a lot of
bike lanes or bike racks,” she
said.

Water rates: ‘Our rates have not been adjusted enough in recent times’

estimated $1.40 increase a
month per average household.
City Manager Brant
Kucera compared Cannon
Beach’s water rates to those
of Astoria, Warrenton and
Seaside.
“We are from 60 percent
to 30 percent where every-
one else is,” Kucera said.
“Our rates have not been
adjusted enough in recent
times.”
Homeowners could see a
5 percent increase in waste-
water fees and 3 percent
increase in storm drain rates.
The budget for monthly
wastewater charges in the
upcoming year is $1.1 mil-
lion, compared to $1 mil-
lion in the current year.
Storm drain rates could go
up from $138,000 this year
to $142,000 proposed for
next year. The city’s gen-
eral fund has been subsidiz-
ing enterprise activities —
among them water and sewer
costs — for 10 to 15 years,
according to budget commit-
tee members.
The rate increases would
not solve the problem of the
general fund subsidizing
enterprise activities, Kucera
said earlier this month.
“We are going to do a rate
study to set them where they
need to be, so our business
activities start to become
sustainable,” Kucera said.
“We’ve got to get our rates up

Grassick said the city
needs a “defensible” rate
study, based on customer
classiication and capital
project needs, because the
state and ratepayers can chal-
lenge rates.
