Several ballot measures are under consideration in the February 2026 special election including school levies and bonds along with the formation of the Ocean City drainage district.

The vote count was last updated Thursday, Feb. 12 at 4:12 p.m. Of the 30,618 registered voters in Grays Harbor County, 9,018 votes (29%) have been cast. The February special election is scheduled to be certified on Feb. 20.

Bond measures fund capital construction projects and require a 60% supermajority to pass. Local levies require 50% of votes to pass and provide ongoing funding for educational programs that aren’t funded by the state, including extracurricular activities, support staff and technology.
