9.52 percent of local ballots have been received for the May Special Districts Election, as of late Monday.

Douglas County Clerk Daniel Loomis said the 8,356 ballots that have been received lags 0.90 percent behind the participation rate for the same point in the 2021 May Special Districts Election.

Loomis said registered voters who have not received a ballot should contact the clerk’s office.
