New voters can register for April 22 special election through Monday

By Evan Smith

Voters not currently registered in Washington can register to vote in the April 22 election through Monday, April 14, 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 March 24.

The only item on local ballots is the King County roads and transit proposition.

Voters who register in person can either get a ballot by mail or vote on accessible machines at the County elections 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.
