Make sure your vote is counted for the primary election

By Diane Hettrick

I dropped my ballot in the drop box at the 192nd Park n Ride on Sunday afternoon July 21, 2024. 

On Monday, I received a text alert that my ballot had been received. 

On Tuesday, another text alert told me that my signature had been verified and my ballot would be counted.

I expect another text when my ballot has been counted.

I filled out this form to be able to track my ballot.

Now I get to sit back and follow the rest of the process. For the rest of you, know this:

• July 29: Online and mail registrations must be received 8 days before Election Day. Register to vote in person during business hours and any time before 8pm on Election Day.
• August 6: Deadline for Washington State voter registration or updates (in person only).
• There is an in-person Vote Center at Kenmore City Hall.

August 6 is Primary Election Day - Deposit your ballot in an official drop box by 8pm - not one second later!

Drop boxes: 

• Shoreline Library 345 NE 175th St, Shoreline 98155
• Shoreline 192nd Park & Ride: 18821 Aurora Ave N, Shoreline 98133
• Lake Forest Park City Hall: 17425 Ballinger Way NE, LFP 98155
• Lake City Library, 12501 28th Ave NE, Seattle 98125
• Broadview Library, 12755 Greenwood Ave N, Seattle 98133

The purpose of the primary election is to choose the top 2 candidates in each race, who will go on to the general election in November.
