Mail Ballot Elections Scheduled Across Multiple School Districts, Cities

Several upcoming mail ballot elections are set to take place across various regions. In Whatcom County, Washington, over 8,200 ballots were mailed out for a special election regarding a nearly $71 million bond measure aimed at replacing an aging middle school. Meanwhile, the San Jose Unified School District is preparing for a special election on May 6, with over 153,000 mail packets sent to voters to decide on Measure A, a parcel tax renewal expected to generate $5 million annually. In Springfield, Missouri, local elections for mayor and council members are underway, but voter turnout appears low, with concerns about increasing partisanship in local races. In the Florissant Water & Sanitation District of Colorado, a mail ballot election is scheduled for May 2025 to elect new board directors, with ballots being mailed out in April. Each of these elections emphasizes the importance of mail-in voting and community engagement in local governance.
