Primary ballots mailed out


   Most Jefferson County resident will have received their vote-by-mail primary election ballots by now.
   The county clerk's office mailed out 9,525 ballots this year, compared to 9,440 last year, according to chief deputy clerk Lynn Weisen.
   The clerk's office recorded a total of 405 party changes over the year, with 229 of those voters switching to the Democratic party and 64 changing to the Republican party.
   Seven ballots had already been returned by Tuesday, with the drop box and daily mail still to be collected, Weisen said.
   The ballots are due in an election office (can be turned in in any county elections office) by 8 p.m., May 20.
   Drop boxes are located at Culver City Hall, Metolius City Hall, outside the Crooked River Ranch administration office, and the 24-hour box outside the couthouse annex building in Madras. Otherwise, they can be mailed in before the deadline.
