Ballots for the Aug. 7 primary election will be in the mail Thursday.

King County elections officials say they will mail the ballots Thursday, Aug. 19, and send out voters’ pamphlets at about the same time.

Ballots must be mailed with a postmark on or before Aug. 7 or left by 8 p.m. Election Day at 24-hour ballot drop boxes at the Lake Forest Park City Hall or any of 11 other sites around the County.

Voters’ pamphlets go to all residential addresses in the County.

In addition, any voter can use accessible voting machines at North Seattle Community College, Union Station in downtown Seattle, the County elections office in Renton, the Bellevue City Hall or Green River Community College in Auburn Aug. 3, 4, 6 and 7.
