    They also can return ballots by mail. Mailed ballots must be postmarked no later than today.

    Voters should check with their local post office to learn when the day’s last mail will be collected from boxes.

    Clallam County Auditor Patty Rosand will make the first count of ballots at 8 p.m. today.

    She said workers hope to include all ballots returned by mail to the auditor’s office today.

    The next ballot count will take place on Friday, although the election will not be certified until Sept. 5.
