Spirit of Democracy – Words of Wisdom quote contest

April 27, 2011 By Ben Sclair

The “Right to Vote” and the “Right to Free Speech” are two fundamental rights of our Country. The Pierce County Auditor’s “Spirit of Democracy – Words of Wisdom for Voters” quote contest provides the citizens of the Town of Steilacoom an opportunity to exercise both of these rights.

Pierce County is installing 25 ballot drop boxes across the County. The boxes offer an easy and convenient way for voters to return their ballot – no stamp required. Boxes are safe, secure and available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

The Town of Steilacoom has been asked to provide a famous quote to appear on the ballot drop box located outside the library.

“Each box will feature a famous quote provided by the citizens of the community. It’s a great opportunity for citizens to participate in their community and to show civic pride,” said Julie Anderson, Pierce County Auditor.

All Town of Steilacoom residents are encouraged to participate in this contest.  The Mayor will select the winning quote.
