Today Snohomish County Elections mailed ballots for the November 6 General Election to 450,000 registered voters. A combined state and local voters’ pamphlet has been mailed to every household.
Voters are encouraged to return their completed ballots as soon as practical. Interest in the mid-term election may result in longer lines at ballot drop boxes and at accessible voting sites for those voters who wait to return their ballot election week. There are several options available for returning a ballot – through a ballot drop box, an accessible voting site, directly to the Auditor’s Office, or by mail.
Postage is not required regardless of whether the ballot is returned through a ballot drop box, an accessible voting site, the Auditor’s Office or the mail.
Voters returning their ballot through the mail should check the last collection time on the postal box to ensure their ballot will be postmarked no later than Election Day, Tuesday, November 6. Ballots postmarked after Election Day by law cannot be counted. In the 2018 Primary, over 2,000 ballots were not postmarked on time.
Voters interested in seeing that their ballot will be delivered may sign up for Informed Delivery with the U.S. Postal Service. The Informed Delivery tool provides images of mail pieces scheduled for delivery either through an email or an online application. This service is not available in all parts of Snohomish County. Visit informeddelivery.usps.com for more information and to sign up.
