Voter turnout in Josephine County remained solid on the eve of Election Day.
The Josephine County Clerk's Office on Monday evening reported a local turnout of 57.39%. Out of 71,184 registered voters, 40,853 had returned their ballots.
Josephine County voters will decide races for two out of three seats on the Board of Commissioners as well as the race for Treasurer. Grants Pass and Cave Junction voters will decide two-person races for mayor along with city council positions. In addition, there are four money measures on the November 5th ballot.
The deadline for completed ballots is today at 8 p.m., but postmarks will be counted as long as they arrive at the Clerk's Office by November 12th.
Voters can also hand-deliver their ballots by 8 p.m. to designated drop-boxes at the Clerk's Office, the north and south entrances to the Courthouse, the back parking lot of the Grants Pass library branch, Washington Mutual Bank on Union Avenue, Ray's Food Place in Merlin, Hidden Valley Market in Murphy and Cave Junction City Hall.
Be sure to vote and then tune in for "live" coverage of the 2024 General Election tonight on the Grants Pass Broadcasting Corporation. Chuck Benson will be at the Josephine County Courthouse for the first returns shortly after 8 p.m. followed by in-studio updates with News Director Sam Marsh on KAJO, KLDR and KRRM.
