During a Department of Licensing (DOL) system upgrade scheduled for Labor Day weekend, online voter registration and updates will be unavailable at myvote.wa.gov.
However, Washington residents can still make and update voter registrations via downloadable, printable forms available at the Office of Secretary of State’s elections website.
The Secretary of State’s voter registration page contains forms for new Washington voter registrations and updates to existing voters’ information, such as name or address changes, that can be printed in any of 21 languages and submitted by mail or in person at county elections offices.
Organizers of voter-registration drives that will take place during DOL’s update can request to be mailed up to 1,000 blank registration forms for use as well, in English, Spanish, Chinese, or Vietnamese.
During the Department of Licensing system unavailability, visitors to the MyVote site will still be able to check their registration status.

The system is scheduled to resume full service Tuesday, Sept. 4. The Licensing system is being upgraded to incorporate improved security for Washington driver license and identification cards, offering increased privacy for state residents.
