Kent and Auburn schools are each seeking approval of levies.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Voters should return ballots as early as possible, but not later than election day, Feb. 11. Voters returning ballots by mail need to affix first class postage. Note that postage rates will increase to 49 cents on Jan. 26. Ballots must be postmarked by Feb. 11.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Voters can use any of eight drop boxes 24 hours\/day starting Jan. 23 until 8 p.m. on election day.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
