Less than 12 percent of ballots have come in for the 2025 Douglas County May Special Districts Election.

County Clerk Daniel Loomis said 11.54 percent, or 10,105 ballots, have been received as of Monday afternoon. Loomis said that lags 5.34 percent behind the participation rate for the same point in the last special districts election in 2023.

Tuesday at 8:00 p.m. is the Election deadline. Those who take their ballot to the Post Office need to ask staff to stamp their envelope with a hand cancellation stamp. A ballot with a postmark after May 20, will not be counted. Voters can use one of the 15 official ballot drop sites until 8:00 p.m. Tuesday night and be assured that their ballot will be received and counted.
