Most county charter amendments addressing budget, oversight on track to pass

(The Center Square) - Two days after polls closed, 19 of the 24 charter amendments in Clallam, Clark, Pierce and Snohomish counties are on track to pass as election officials process any remaining ballots. Four of the state’s 39 counties placed charter amendments on the November ballot: Clallam County considered three, Clark County had nine, Pierce County had seven, and Snohomish County had five. Altogether, the amendments center on county governance, accountability and financial oversight. Each of the four counties still has thousands of ballots left to process, with more results coming Friday. The following is a brief summary of each amendment by county and where the votes stood as of Thursday afternoon. Clallam County Town halls : The first charter amendment on the ballot would require county commissioners to hold at least one town hall each district annually, and one town hall in each district with all the commissioners. As of Thursday night, the proposal led with 14,622 votes in support, or 68.29% of the votes cast on the measure. Ethics : The second charter amendment would establish an ethics review board for complaints against elected officials. Its members would be unpaid and appointed by “designated elected county officials.”
