Voters' Pamphlet Administrative Rules

The Voters' Pamphlet Administrative Rules establish the requirements for all participants involved in the production and distribution of a voters' pamphlet in Skagit County. The "participants" are the candidates and districts involved in an election, along with Skagit County Elections. These Rules also serve as guidelines for the production of the Online Voters' Guide, but they are not to be interpreted as requirements for the Online Guide. The Rules operate under the authority of RCW 29A.32 and Skagit County Code 1.28.

  • • August 17, 2010. A hearing occurred in the Skagit County Commissioner's Hearing Room for public comment regarding the adoption of the administrative rules. No objections to the Rules were made. The hearing was adjourned with the agreement to present a resolution in September for the adoption of the Rules.
  • • September 7, 2010. The Skagit County Board of County Commissioners adopted resolution number 2010308 adopting the Voters' Pamphlet Administrative Rules as presented in the August 17 hearing. The Rules are now in effect.
