King County Elections mails ballots for February 12 Special Election

On Wednesday, King County Elections (KCE) mailed ballots to just over 150,000 voters across five districts for the February 12, 2024 Special Election. King County Elections is projecting 32% turnout for this election.

Ballots should arrive to voters’ mailboxes by Monday, January 29. If a voter believes they should have received a ballot but did not, they should call King County Elections at 206-296-VOTE (8683).

Voters can also check our online ballot tracker and sign up for ballot alerts to get text or email notification of their ballot’s progress through the process, from mailed to counted. Voters who run into an issue with their signature will also receive an alert that additional action is needed for their vote to count.

The deadline to register to vote online or by mail for this election is Monday, February 5. Voters may register or update their registration in person until 8pm on Election Day. KCE will provide in person service, including providing replacement ballots and assistive voting devices for those with disabilities, at KCE Headquarters in Renton.

Ballots must be postmarked by Election Day, February 12. Or voters may place them in a secure ballot drop box until 8pm sharp on Election Day. 18 ballot drop boxes are open for this election, including all within 3-miles of a participating jurisdiction.

Many voters in King County may also participate in the annual King Conservation District (KCD) Board of Supervisors election. 

Voting in the KCD election began on Tuesday, January 23, and will continue until Election Day, February 12. Voters must return separate ballots for each election. For more information about the KCD election, visit kingcd.org/vote.

  1. RE: Annual King Conservation District (KCD) election
    Hoping they resolve their website voting issues. I tried to vote on first day (1-23) but the site was not working properly - dead links, etc. Tried again on Wednesday (1-24) and again not working. Called main office and was told they had limited funds and had hired a company that was working to fix the issues! Seriously folks - fixing voting website AFTER the election has started? Attempting to understand/resolve the issue I called the KCD Election Manager: Mark Dostal and left a voice message - no response two days later. I also called and left a voice message for Executive Director: Rosa Mendex Perez - no response to that either. Have also reached out to King County Dow Constantine office for an explanation since apparently the 'taxing authority' for KCD comes via King County Ordinance 17494 so assuming the county executive has oversight.
    Seems to be a pretty poorly run election!
