Press release from the Pierce County Government:

August 4, 2021

The Pierce County Auditor’s Office is opening a special appointment period to recruit individuals to write against committee statements for the November 2, 2021, General Election Local Voters’ Pamphlet.

Against Committee members needed

The districts did not appoint against committee members to prepare statements for the local voters’ pamphlet. As a result, RCW 29A.32.280 directs the Auditor’s Office to seek out and appoint up to three members to form the committee. A link to District resolutions and explanatory statements can be found at www.PierceCountyElections.org in the current election section.

Committee responsibilities

At least one committee member must be willing to submit phone number, email or website address for publication in the local voters’ pamphlet. Those interested who agree to the above responsibilities can email a request that includes name, voter registration address, phone number and the district they wish to write a statement for to voterpamphlet@piercecountywa.gov. Appointments will be made in the order that the requests are received.

Deadlines

The deadline to request a committee appointment is August 5, 2021, at noon. The deadline to submit a committee statement is August 5, 2021, at 4:30 p.m.

NOTE: Individuals requesting appointment on August 5 must be prepared to submit the statement by email on the same day. The Auditor’s Office is unable to extend the deadline.
