Edmonds School District will have technology levy on February ballot

Voters in Edmonds, Lynnwood, Mountlake Terrace, Woodway and the rest of the Edmonds School District face a replacement technology-and-capital-improvements levy on the Feb. 9, 2016, special-election ballot.

Proposition 1 on local ballots would continue the existing technology-and-capital-improvements levy for four years. It would pay for instructional technology and building system improvements.

The proposition would authorize the District to collect between 56 cents and 59 cents per $1,000 of assessed valuation on all property in the district.

The measure can pass with a simple majority. The election needs no minimum number of votes to be valid.

Ballots for most voters go out Jan. 21. Snohomish County elections officials send ballots to military and overseas voters Jan. 8.

Anyone can register to vote through Jan. 11 on line, by mail or in-person at the Snohomish County auditor’s office in Everett. New Washington voters can register through Feb. 1, but they must register in-person at the auditor’s office.
