Primary ballot will be short

By Evan Smith

Shoreline and Lake Forest Park voters will have a short ballot for the Aug. 5 primary election.

Local ballots will be short because no jurisdictions in the area have offered ballot measures for August and because no judicial or other non-partisan offices in the area have more than two candidates.

The only items on local primary ballots will be partisan contests for Congress, the state legislature and county prosecuting attorney.

The top two vote getters for each position on the primary ballot, regardless of party, qualify for the November general-election ballot.

Here are positions and candidates on local primary ballots:
