County investigating suspicious activity on countywide network

On Saturday, Oct. 21, Clark County staff became aware of suspicious activity on the countywide network. The county’s information technology experts are actively looking into the situation and working on a solution. 

Currently, some parts of the county website are not available including the Property Information Center, Geographic Information Services and the Jail roster. Some county services may not be available at this time. 

In the Elections Office, this issue will briefly delay processing of voter registration updates.

Ballot tabulation and scanning occurs on standalone servers and are not affected by this situation.

The election management system and voter registration database are part of VoteWA which is a statewide system operated by the Office of the Secretary of State. VoteWA was not affected by this issue.

Updates will be posted on the county website at clark.wa.gov, and linked to the information ribbon at the top of the page.
