Those who vote by mail have until June 1 to get their ballot to the county clerks. Canvassing starts June 2 arid need njfc, by law, be completed before June 14. One of the State's election officials predicts it will be near the end of June before all the totals are known. Fire on Reservation KLAMATH FALLS, May 5.
