Some voters can register through Monday to vote in April 28 special election

By Evan Smith

New Washington voters can register through Monday to vote in the April 28 special election, but they must register in person at either the King County Elections office in Renton or the county voter registration 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 online was March 30.

The only item on local ballots is the King County property tax levy to replace the county emergency public safety radio network.

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.

A 24-hour ballot drop box is open at the Lake Forest Park city hall, 17425 Ballinger Way N.E. It is one of 10 drop boxes around King County.

The deadline for voters to change voting addresses for the Aug. 4 primary election or to register by mail or online is July 6.
