County clerk: recall ballots mailed; election day set for Aug. 4

Jefferson County Board of Commissioners · July 8, 2026

Summary

Jefferson County Clerk Kate corrected earlier reports and confirmed ballots for the recall will be mailed the week of July 15 and the special election is scheduled for August 4; she reviewed postmark and certification timelines and urged public education about unusual deadlines.

County Clerk Kate told commissioners that ballots for the special recall will go out the week of July 15 and that election day is August 4. She said military and out‑of‑state ballots had already been mailed.

Kate warned residents to note the different deadlines for a special election: the county will accept ballots postmarked by election day for a short additional period, and signature‑challenge procedures can extend processing (signature challenges have 21 days). She recommended increased public education on the unusual calendar and said she would work with staff and local media to push clear, straightforward messages about dates and deadlines.
