Personal outreach
Talking with friends, family members, neighbors and co-workers is one of the best things that you can do to support the levy. Not sure what to say? We've provided some bullet points to help you get started.
About the levy
-
Battle Ground is the only school district in Southwest Washington without an education and operations levy. Our kids deserve better.
-
The levy will pay for programs, classes and staff that help prepare students for their future jobs and plans.
-
Without levy funding, our local schools suffer. Our community pays a price as well. Schools are an important part of what your home is worth. Strong schools equal strong home values.
-
Battle Ground’s tax rate is one of the lowest in Clark County. The district is financially responsible and has had clean financial audits for the past 21 years.
-
I want kids to continue to have opportunities. That’s why I’m voting yes.
-
Your ballot is due by February 10. No matter how you feel, the most important thing is to vote.
Ballot tracking
-
Follow up with people you know in the district starting January 24 to see if they have returned their ballot. Continue until their ballot has been turned in.
-
Once they have returned their ballot, tell them how they can verify that it was counted:
-
Go to voter.votewa.gov and check the status.
-
If the ballot was accepted, they do not need to do anything further.
-
If their ballot has any of the following codes, watch for communication from the Clark County elections office: Unsigned / signature does not match / ID required / other than voter / power of attorney
-
It’s important to respond to the elections office right away. If not, their ballot may not be counted.
