• Kitsap County Fire Protection District No. 18 (Poulsbo Fire Department) is also proposing a property tax lid lift.

The General Election Local Voters' Pamphlet includes official ballot titles, explanatory statements, arguments "for" and "against" each measure, and rebuttals. Committees writing arguments in favor of each measure were already appointed by the districts.

Committee members do not have to be residents of the district to draft arguments. Interested parties should contact the Elections Division by 4:30 p.m., August 20. Please email auditor@co.kitsap.wa.us or call 360-337-7128 if interested.
