​PRIMARY 2025

We've received several phone calls asking why there is only one item on the ballot. That is true for some of you. And others have no more than two. Let us explain.
Voters in some parts of Central Kitsap and about two-thirds of Bainbridge Island will only have the library measure to vote on, because there were not enough candidates to prompt a primary.
Under state law, nonpartisan races require three candidates for there to be a primary. This year that happened in the City of Bremerton (Mayor, Council District 3), The South Ward Council District in the City of Bainbridge Island, the Bremerton School District (two school board races), and the North Kitsap School District (one board seat).
South Kitsap voters and parts of Bremerton will have the 26th Legislative District race, a partisan race that only requires one candidate for there to be a primary.
You will all have plenty of races to vote on in November. Primary ballots are due by Aug. 5.
