Monday, Oct. 5, deadline for voter registration

By Evan Smith

Monday, October 5, is the last day before the November 3 general election for voters to register online or by mail, or to update an existing registration.

New Washington voters may register through October 26, but after October 5, they must do it in person at either the county elections office in Renton or at the voter registration annex in the county administration building in downtown Seattle.

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 web site is www.vote.wa.gov. The King County Elections website is www.kingcounty.gov/elections
