Two Umatilla County ballot measures to ensure confidence in the office of sheriff are passing with nothing to see in the rearview mirror.

Voters are overwhelmingly passing the measure 91.3% to 8.8%.
Measure 30-165 increases the minimum age for persons holding the office of sheriff in Umatilla County from 21 to 25 years of age. Voters are passing that measure 82% to 18%.
