Monday, Oct. 8, is the last day for voters to register by mail or online for the Nov. 6 general election, or for previously registered Washington voters to change their voting addresses, but anything sent by mail must be postmarked by Saturday, Aug. 6,
The early postmark is required because there is no mail Monday, the federal Columbus Day holiday.
Voters can register or file address changes on line or in person at the County elections office in Renton or the elections annex in Seattle through Monday. The elections office and annex are open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday because Columbus Day is not a State holiday.
Voters who want to register by mail can get material at many libraries and at most post offices, or they can download forms from the King County elections web site (www.kingcounty.gov/elections) or the secretary of state's website.
New Washington voters can register through Oct. 29, but they must register at the elections office or at the annex.
King County residents can get information by calling the Voter Hotline on weekdays, at 206-296-VOTE (8683).
The King County Elections office is at 919 S.W. Grady Way, Renton, and the Voter Registration Annex is at 500 4th Avenue, Room 311, Seattle. Both will be open all weekdays from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The Annex is closed from 1 to 2 p.m.
