As the election deadline nears, it’s important to know what to do if an issue arises with your ballot. Below you’ll find common ballot-casting problems and how to make sure your vote counts.

This voter guide was created by Pacific County Voices Uniting (PCVU) to help residents better understand the local positions and offices that shape daily life in our communities. Local elections often have a direct impact on schools, health care, emergency services, and infrastructure — yet many voters aren’t familiar with what these roles actually do. Our hope is that this guide makes it easier to feel informed, empowered, and ready to vote.

Community comes together for ‘Crip Camp’ screening and conversation on disability justice

Here at PCVU, we’re often thinking about disability rights and how we can better serve and represent the disabled members of our community. This month, we have a screening of the documentary “Crip Camp: A Disability Revolution” on October 18th, where we will watch and discuss how the campers at Camp Jened led a disability movement in the U.S. Can’t make it? Here are some great books to add to your must-read list!

Election season is just around the corner, and soon ballots will land in mailboxes across Pacific County. Among the names and measures, you’ll find something that shapes our daily lives more than most people realize: commissioners. But what exactly do they do and why does it matter so much who holds these seats?
