Mail prez-primary ballots in time to get Tuesday postmark

By Evan Smith

Voters who send their presidential-primary ballots by mail Tuesday need to be sure that they send them in time to get a Tuesday postmark.

That means leaving them by 5:15pm at the North City post office, by 6pm at the Bitter Lake post office, or by 3pm at the Richmond Beach postal station.

Voters can leave ballots without postage until 8pm Tuesday at ballot drop boxes at the Lake Forest Park city hall or nine other sites around King County, or at ballot drop vans in the Shoreline Aurora Square Shopping Center or 12 other sites around the county. They also can vote in person until 8pm on accessible voting units in Bellevue, Renton and downtown Seattle.
