Howdy, dear voters. Just dropping a reminder that tomorrow, Tuesday, May 20, is Election Day! That means you have until 8 pm Tuesday to get your ballot in. Ballots postmarked on or before May 20 will be accepted.

This season's special district election will decide who gets elected to local school boards for Portland Public Schools, Parkrose, Centennial, and David Douglas school districts. Don't forget about Multnomah Education Service District and depending on where you live, you might be asked to choose directors for your local community college board of trustees.

Many Multnomah County voters will also see a PPS levy on the ballot. The school bond will determine whether the state's largest school district gets infrastructure funding to finishing remodeling three high schools, while also making critical HVAC and earthquake safety upgrades to several K-8 sites. 

Need help choosing candidates, or just want to learn more? The Mercury's endorsement guide is here to help! And if you aren't sure where to take your ballot, here's Multnomah County's handy drop site locator. 

It may not be the sexiest or most high-stakes election, but every election matters, so get your ballot in if you haven't, and pat yourself on the back if you already have!
