IT’S TIME TO VOTE! OUR MAIL-IN BALLOTS ARE DUE AUGUST 4 — Here’s everything you need to know:
Ballots are due August 4. That means that they must be postmarked — not just in the mailbox — so King County Elections is encouraging voters to get them in their USPS mailbox by Saturday to ensure they arrive on time, or find a ballot drop box if you’re cutting it close. The box nearest Pinehurst is at the curb in front of Lake City Library, 12501 28th Ave NE.
But wait, is USPS reliable right now? As a federal service dealing with cuts and service interruptions, folks might be wondering if it’s safe to put their ballot in the mailbox. If you haven’t had any issues with your mail recently — you’ve been receiving things and sending them normally — there shouldn’t be any issue mailing your ballot. But again, if you want to be extra-careful, find a ballot box. Then, make sure you check that your ballot has been counted to close the loop.
Lost your ballot or need a new one? You can always access a replacement ballot from King County Elections. They can also help if you or someone you know needs translation services or accessibility measures.
And remember — it’s not too late to vote until the election is over. If you need to register, you have until the 4th to go to the elections office in person.
YOUR VOTE IS YOUR VOICE – use it!
