Flooding has had a huge impact for the past week, threatening the lives, homes, businesses, public infrastructure, and has caused severe damages to roadways, utilities and other infrastructure rendering those roadways and infrastructure unusable.
The vast geographic area of San Juan County including rural communities
requires traveling extensive distances between residential areas and polling and ballot drop box locations, and flood damage and emergency conditions have made access to the polling places and/or voting drop boxes extremely difficult or impossible, which is why this opportunity to vote right from your phone is so critical to spread the word about.
