King County Elections mailed out ballots yesterday, April 6, to all registered voters in King County for the April 26 Special Election.
“Every vote is a part of the decision making process that impacts all of us,” saysJulie Wise, Director of King County Elections. “It’s important to vote in every election and return your ballot as early as possible.”
This special election includes 11 ballot measures and King County Elections expect a turnout of 29 percent for this election.
All voters will receive a voters’ pamphlet with all measures in this election. Ballots will include only the measures for which a voter is eligible to vote.
Voters should read and follow directions on their ballots, sign the return envelope, and get ballots back before the April 26 election day deadline. Mailed ballots need a first-class stamp. Voters in Ballard can also return their ballots to the drop box at Ballard Library (5614 22nd Ave NW) by 8 p.m. on April 26.
