VALE â The first round of unofficial results for the 2021 Special District Director Election are in, with ballot boxes having closed at 8 p.m. Results, including voter percentage turnouts, remain unofficial until they are finalized by Malheur County Clerk Gayle Trotter on June 2.Â
âMajority will be complete by the time we go home tonight though,â she wrote in an email to the newspaper on Tuesday afternoon.Â
At 2:30 p.m., Trotter said 31% of ballots â 5,196 of the 17,053Â registered voters had returned their ballots, and an update was not available this evening.
Noteworthy highlights are that Malheur County Commissioners will have to meet three times per year to discuss âpromoting Malheur Countyâs interest in moving the Oregon-Idaho border.â Preliminary results show 1,824 yes votes compared to 1,627 no votes.Â
