Elections off sends out expired ballot envelopes

COLFAX — County Auditor Sandy Jamison confirmed that Whitman County Elections office used leftover return envelopes from last fall’s general election for the Feb. 13 Special Election to save approximately $6,000 in taxes on vote-by-mail ballots.

According to Jamison using the old return envelopes with the expired date will not affect the current election.

Jamison said all the old return envelopes will be used during the special election, and voters should not be alarmed by the expiration date on the return envelope.

Jamison said the U.S. Postal Service will normally return the mail-in ballots...
