Monday, March 24, is the last day for voters to register by mail or online for the April 22 special election, or for currently registered Washington voters to change their voting addresses.
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 website or the secretary of state's website.
Voters can register online by following links from either website. The secretary of state's registration website is here. The King County Elections website is here.
New Washington voters can register through April 14, but they must register in person at the county elections office in Renton or at the voter registration annex in the county administration building in downtown Seattle.
The county transportation tax measure is the only item on Shoreline and Lake Forest Park ballots.
The proposal would increase the sales tax throughout the County by 0.1 cents per dollar, and establish a $60 vehicle-license fee, with the two to generate about $130 million per year for Metro Transit, city streets and rural roads, with 60 percent of the revenue going to Transit and 40 percent for streets and roads
People with incomes less than 45 percent of the median countywide household income would get a $20 rebate on the vehicle-license fee.
