Description
Despite a heavy downpour Friday, voters cast their ballots at drop boxes scattered across Clallam County.
Some, however, have been voicing concerns about people hanging around those boxes, specifically in Sequim.
"They've called our office not really sure what was going on," said Clallam County Auditor Shoona Riggs. "I think we got the word out that there are observers that are watching."
Riggs explained the observers haven't broken any laws, but people have been feeling uneasy while doing their civic duty.
"A few of them have concerns that they feel intimidated because they're being watched," she said. "They were worried people were videotaping them or writing down their license plate numbers."
So, what are the rules when it comes to observers at ballot boxes?
Here's what you need to know.
Number one, any observer must remain at least 25 feet away from the ballot box. That means no signs or fliers within 25 feet, either.
No one can block the ballot box or interfere with voters in any way.
