In the race for Orcas School District Director 2 position, incumbent Tony Ghazel received 68 percent of the vote while his opponent Justin Paulsen received 32 percent.

The Prop. 1 amendment concerning the charter failed with only 35 percent of the vote.

Responding to the 2012 voter-approved charter amendments that reduced the size of the County Council from six members to three, the former six-member council proposed Proposition 1 for a voter decision on the 2013 election ballot. Their unanimous vote to put this proposition on the ballot was one of the final actions of the old council.

Proposition 1 amends the charter by substituting the words “Charter Amendment Petition” for the word “initiative” in section 9.33 of the charter. The intent is to get around section 5.34 of the charter, which states that the boundaries of county council districts “shall not be changed by the Legislative Body or initiative.”

Locally, I-522, the measure concerning the labeling of GMO foods, was approved. But state-wide, it was rejected by 55 percent.
