PENDLETON — Umatilla County had received 38.4% of ballots mailed out by 8 a.m. Tuesday, Nov. 8, Election Manager Kim Lindell said.

“We just printed it out,” she said. “Returns totaled 18,927.”

Voting is to end at 8 p.m. All cities in the county except Ukiah have ballot drop box locations, as does Mission. Voting is also possible at the courthouse, 216 S.E. Fourth St., Pendleton, but electors must bring the ballots they were mailed.

In the 2018 mid-term general election, Umatilla County voter turnout was 56.36%, vs. 67.8% for Oregon.

Morrow County Clerk Bobbi Childers said 43.9% of ballots had been returned by 9 a.m. Tuesday.

“We have 7016 eligible voters,” she said, “and have received 3079.”

About 160 more ballots were in the clerk’s office, 100 S. Court St., Heppner, Suite 102, but had not yet been scanned at that time.
