New voters can register for school election through Monday

By Evan Smith

Voters not currently registered in Washington can register to vote in the Feb. 11 school election through Monday, Feb. 3, but they must register in person at either the King County elections office in Renton or the elections annex at the County Administration Building in downtown Seattle.

The last day for current Washington voters to file a change of address or for anyone to register by mail or on line was Jan. 13.

Voters in the Shoreline School District face two propositions on the February ballot, one a renewal of the maintenance-and-operations levy, the other a renewal of the capital levy for technology improvement and support. Either can pass with a simple majority vote.

Voters who register in person can either get a ballot by mail or vote on accessible machines at the auditor’s office if they choose to wait for their registration to be validated through the state voter registration database, a wait that requires a few minutes.
