Ballots and voters’ pamphlets for the Feb. 9 special election will arrive in your mailboxes this week.

The King County elections department will mail out ballots to registered voters Wednesday, January 20. The Postal Service has voters’ pamphlets for distribution to all residential addresses.

Shoreline and Lake Forest Park ballots have two sides, with the King County Library levy and Shoreline School Proposition 1 on the front and Shoreline School Propositions 2 and 3 on the back.
Ballots must be postmarked on or before Election Day or left at one of three drop-sites around the County.

The drop box at the County elections headquarters in Tukwila is open 8:30 am to 4:30 pm Monday through Friday from January 20 through February 8 and from 8:30 am to 8 pm Election Day.

The drop boxes at the County administration building in downtown Seattle and at the Bellevue City Hall are open from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm Monday, February 8 and from 8:30 am to 8 pm Election Day.

Accessible voting machines are available at the same hours at all three sites. Washington has no restrictions on who can use the machines.

New Washington voters can register to vote in the election through February 1, but they must do it at the County elections office in Tukwila. The deadline for Washington voters to change their registration addresses and for anyone to register on line or by mail was January 11.
