Board Elections & Appointments

All conservation district elections and appointments in Washington State are governed by Washington Administrative Code 135-110 with guidance and oversight provided by the Washington State Conservation Commission

2026 Election and Appointment Information

Each conservation district (CD) in Washington is governed by a board of five members, called supervisors. Three are elected locally by the public, and two are appointed by the Conservation Commission. At least two of the elected and one of the appointed supervisors must be local landowners or operators of a farm. The term of office is three years. Supervisors are non-partisan and serve without compensation — they are volunteers. 

MID-TERM VACANCY ANNOUNCEMENT

While the 2026 election has concluded, the Pend Oreille Conservation District is accepting applications to fill a mid-term vacancy on Board of Supervisors. The application deadline is July 29, 2026. 

Applications will be reviewed by the Board of Supervisors, and an appointment to fill the vacant elected postion is expected to be made during the August Board meeting. The appointed supervisor will serve the remainder of the current term, which ends May 18, 2027.

Applicants must be registered voters residing within the boundaries of the Pend Oreille Conservation District. Depending on the current composition of the Board, this position may be required to be filled by a landowner or farm operator.

If the appointed supervisor wishes to continue serving after the current term ends, they will need to file as a candidate in the next regular Conservation District election, which will be held in March 2027.
