By Evan Smith

New Washington voters have extra time for in-person registration Saturday and Monday.

The King County elections office in Renton and the Voter Registration Annex in downtown Seattle will have rare open hours Saturday from 9am to 3pm. Both offices also will be open Monday from 8:30am to 6pm.

Monday, October 31, marks the eight-day deadline before the November 8 election for in-person voter registration.

The King County Elections office is at 919 SW Grady Way, Renton. The Voter Registration Annex is in the King County Administration Building, 500 4th Ave, Room 440, Seattle.

Voters who register in person will have a ballot sent by mail the next workday.

The deadline to register on line or by mail or for currently registered Washington voters to update their addresses was October 10.
