New Washington voters can register through Monday

New Washington voters can register through 4:30pm. Monday, July 24, to vote in the August 1 primary election, but they must register in person at either the King County Elections Office in Renton or the County Voter Registration Annex in downtown Seattle.

In-person registration is at the King County Elections office, 919 Grady Way, Renton, from 8:30am to 4:30pm Monday through Friday, or at the County Voter Registration Annex in the King County Administration Building, 500 4th Ave, Seattle, Room 440 from 8:30am to 1pm and 2pm to 4:30pm Monday through Friday.

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

The deadline to register on line or by mail or for currently registered Washington voters to change their addresses or other information was July 3.
