12.13 percent, or 10,859 local ballots have been received for the May Presidential Primary Election by the Douglas County Clerk’s Office, as of late Tuesday.

That lags 6.62 percent behind the participation rate for the same point in the 2020 Primary Election.

County Clerk Daniel Loomis said Wednesday is six days away from Elections Day. Loomis said registered voters who have not received their ballot, should contact or visit the clerk’s office.

Election reminders:

*Before turning in a ballot, be sure to review and complete both sides of the ballot

There are eight drive-up locations to return ballots and a total of fifteen ballot drop sites in the county. The location list is linked: https://douglascountyor.gov/179/Official-Drop-Site-Locations
