Nearly 15 percent of registered voters have cast their ballot in the Douglas County 2021 Special Districts Election, as of late Friday.

Douglas County Clerk Daniel Loomis said that is slightly ahead of the participation rate in the 2019 Special Districts Election.

Ballots are due in to the courthouse by 8:00 p.m. on Tuesday. It is too late for voters to mail their ballots back in.
