AMENDING WHATCOM COUNTY CODE SECTION 1.14, ELECTORAL PRECINCTS, FOR CHANGES
IN CERTAIN VOTING PRECINCT BOUNDARIES IN WHATCOM COUNTY
WHEREAS, we have been notified that certain precinct boundary line adjustments in
Whatcom County Code Section 1.14 are needed due to annexations in the City of Lynden adopted
August 6, 2018 affecting Precincts 118 and 611, and an annexation in the City of Lynden adopted June
9, 2016 affecting Precincts 144 and 607, as listed on Exhibit A; and
WHEREAS, it has been determined that one precinct in Whatcom County (Precinct #201)
contains over the state statutory limit of 1,500 voters in any precinct; and
WHEREAS, a change in the boundary with an adjacent precinct (#202) will remedy this
situation as listed on Exhibit A; and
WHEREAS, these precinct adjustments result in a necessary change to the "Book of Election
Precinct Maps" previously adopted effective March 11, 2019; and
WHEREAS, RCW 29A.16.040 requires the county legislative authority of each county in the
state to divide the county into election precincts and establish the boundaries of the precincts; and
WHEREAS, RCW 29A.16.040 further provides that no precinct boundary changes may be
made starting fourteen (14) days prior to the first day candidates may file for the primary election
through the period ending with the general election; and

WHEREAS, RCW 29A.76.030 provides the County Auditor shall transfer and notify any
registered voters that may be affected by the change in boundaries.

the "Book of Election Precinct Maps," affecting Precinct #118, 611, 144, 607, 201 & 202 shall be
adopted and substituted into the "Book of Election Precinct Maps;" said revised Book of Maps is
