Ballots, voters’ pamphlets in mail

By Evan Smith

Ballots and voters’ pamphlets for the Nov. 5 general election will be mailed this week.

King County elections officials will mail ballots Thursday.

Every residential address in King County will get both a local voters’ pamphlet from the county elections office and a statewide pamphlet from the secretary of state’s office.

Both were sent by bulk mail Wednesday.

Registered voters can leave their completed ballots at 24-hour drop boxes at the Lake Forest Park City Hall and nine other sites around the county. They will be open through 8pm election day.

Voters also will be able to leave ballots at the Aurora Square Shopping Center and 11 other sites around the county, Saturday, Nov. 2 and Monday, Nov. 4, from 10am to 5pm and Tuesday, Nov. 5, from 10am to 8pm.  

Mailed ballots must be sent so they are postmarked by election day, Tuesday, Nov. 5.

Voters can vote in person at an accessible voting unit at the county elections office in Renton any business day, starting Friday, from 8:30am through 4:30pm and on election day from 8:30am through 8pm. They also can use accessible units at the Seattle Union Station and the Bellevue City Hall Monday, Nov. 4, from 10am through 5pm and election day, from 10am to 8pm.
