The vast majority of candidates on Tuesday's ballot in Douglas County were unopposed.

The most significant issue is the unified property tax rate request in Douglas and Chelan County. The measure would equalize the property tax the Port collects in both counties. If approved it would result in a small increase in property taxes in Douglas County and a slight reduction in Chelan County.

The measure received 78% approval in Chelan County but was getting a thumbs down in Douglas County with a 70% no vote. The ballot measure will pass with a simple majority of the combined vote from both counties, which it is now on track to do because there are more votes and voters in Chelan County.

It’s still not known what will come of a major error in its ballot description.

The Port wants voters to authorize them to collect a property tax of 16.2 cents per $1,000 of assessed value, but the tax rate that appears on the ballot reads .162 cents.

On paper, passage of the measure would call for a drastic reduction of about 99% in the tax the Port collects.

The Regional Port believes the discrepancy can be handled through what's called a "scrivener's error" Courts may correct “scrivener’s errors” if there is proof it was a typographical mistake.

Chelan County Auditor Skip Moore told KPQ he believes there'll be more involved in resolving the ballot issue.

"The Port, I think, is going to have to convince a judge, ultimately, that it was an error, and it's an error that requires the results be thrown out or nullified, and that they will ask the question sometime later to the voters," said Moore.

Douglas and Okanogan County voters were both rejecting the Three Rivers Public Hospital District Bond proposal for a new hospital with a combined 59% no vote, and 63% of Douglas County voters rejecting the request.
