Primary vote results have been updated, here’s who is on the Nov. 7 ballot in Whatcom County
With a second day of ballot counting, preliminary results in the Whatcom County top-two primary have not changed, according to unofficial totals released by the auditor’s office Wednesday evening.
Liberals Todd Donovan and Amy Glasser will face off in County Council District 2, North Bellingham, and Rebecca Boonstra will face Tyler Byrd in District 3, Foothills, in the Nov. 7 general election. Only voters who live in the district will elect district representatives.
The next count will be Thursday.
About 30 percent of the 105,045 ballots were counted with an estimated 20 left to count. Ballots mailed on election day will be counted before the vote is certified Aug. 15.
In Bellingham, incumbent Roxanne Murphy will likely face Eric Bostrom for the City Council at-large seat. Jean Layton is less than 3 percentage points behind Bostrom in the top-two primary.
For Port Commission, incumbent Dan Robbins will face Michael Shepard for District 1. Ken Bell will face Barry Wenger for District 2.
The port continues to use the old County Council districts, with one commissioner in each of three districts. Voters in all districts will elect candidates in the general election.
