Presidential ballots in the mail Most registered Clark County voters will begin receiving their Feb. 19 state presidential primary ballots tomorrow, following a mass mailing from the county auditor’s office today. But 134 persons have already voted. These were people who are overseas or in the military service. State voter pamphlets were sent out earlier in the week. This presidential preference primary will mean very little for Democratic voters since their candidate will be selected through the caucus process next week. For Republicans, the popular vote will count 51 percent toward the presidential nomination. Republican caucuses, being held the same day and in most cases in the same locations with Democratic caucuses, will count toward 49 percent of the decision. Although the number of candidates has dwindled, the ballots show eight candidates from each party. Voters must declare their party on the accompanying affidavit envelope to have their vote counted, and they may vote only for one party’s candidate.
