Request For A Ballot Drop Box Was Denied
In 2017, the Confederated Tribes of the Colville Indian Reservations requested that the Okanogan County Auditor provide a ballot drop box, but the request was denied. For a decade, efforts by the Tulalip Tribes to get a drop box from the county were rebuffed. They had to resort to creating their own lock box.”
