Election offices in 32 Washington counties have mailed ballots to voters who are eligible to vote in the Feb. 11th Special Election.
Approximately 30% of Washington’s 5 million registered voters are eligible to participate in the election. A total of 81 measures will appear on the ballot across 65 districts, covering issues and races ranging from school districts to public facilities districts.
Not all voters in counties with special election measures will receive ballots. Seven counties — Franklin, Garfield, Klickitat, Pend Oreille, San Juan, Wahkiakum, and Whatcom — don’t have measures on the ballot next month.
Voters participating in the February Special Election must return ballots to a county drop box or voting center by 8 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 11th. Mailed ballots must be postmarked by Feb. 11th to be counted, and the United States Postal Service recommends mailing ballots at least one week before election day.
Eligible voters still have time to register to vote in the February Special Election. Online and mail-in registrations or updates must be received by Monday, Feb. 3rd. In-person voter registration services are also available at county voting centers until 8 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 11th.
