“The General Election is here – time for Washingtonians to exercise their right to vote and make their voices heard,” said Lori Augino, elections director, Office of the Secretary of State. “We encourage the more than 4.7 million registered voters in Washington to start checking their mailboxes and get ready to mark their ballots. For people who want to vote but haven’t registered, there’s still time to sign up and take part in the General Election.”
People who want to register to vote, or update their registration, can go online at VoteWA.gov, or print and mail a registration form (available in 23 languages) at the Secretary of State’s Elections page.
The deadline for county elections offices to receive registrations online or by mail, however, is Monday, Oct. 26.
After Oct. 26, people can visit a county elections office and register in person.
More election information, including important dates and deadlines, an online voter guide, and elections data and statistics, is available at sos.wa.gov.
