Nov. 7 is General Election Day for all voters in Washington. Ballots are mailed out by county election offices no later than Oct. 20. In order to make your voice heard, you must be registered to vote. Voter registration forms that are mailed or completed online must be received by Oct. 30. After Oct. 30, you must visit your local elections office or voting center during regular business hours and until 8 p.m. on Election Day to register to vote or update your registration and receive a ballot.
Send your ballot via U.S. mail—no postage needed. All ballots must be postmarked by Nov. 7 in order to be counted. The U.S. Postal Service recommends that you mail a week before Election Day.
