Lane County voters should review both sides of their ballots
Ballots for the May 18 Special
Election are arriving in the mail
of registered Lane County voters.
Before turning in a ballot, voters
should remember to review both
sides of the ballot.
“Lane County Elections wants
to remind registered voters to
review both sides of their official
ballot. Some ballots have addi-
tional voting opportunities on
the back of their ballot,” said Lane
County Clerk Cheryl Betschart.
“Once a ballot has been returned
it cannot be amended or recast.”
Registered voters anywhere in
Oregon who have changed their
address still have time to update
their registration and qualify for
a full ballot. Those with elec-
tion-related questions should
contact Lane County Elections at
541-682-4234.
Voters may drop off their bal-

he Ladies of the Elks gave a gener-
ous donation to the Siuslaw School
District. For the last two years, Michele
Smith of the local Ladies of the Flor-
ence Elks Lodge #1858, has secured a
“Warmth and Literacy” grant, which
enabled her to purchase dozens of books

lists on Amazon, which she fulfilled,” said

Secretary Ella Glowacki. Smith also used
the grant funds to purchase shoes and
