On Aug. 3, King County Elections tallied about 242,000 votes out of 1.4 million registered voters. Officials have predicted turnout of about 40% or just below that, meaning perhaps 300,000 votes have yet to be counted.
The County Canvassing Boards will certify primary election results on Aug. 17, and the Secretary of State will certify results on Aug. 20.
