February 11 Special Election Ballots Mailed This Week
Everett, WA – This Thursday, January 23, Snohomish County Elections will mail ballots for the February 11 Special Election to approximately 60,400 registered voters living in Arlington School District No. 16 and Lake Stevens School District No. 4. Voters can expect to receive their ballots starting at the end of the week, with delivery continuing through the weekend and into early next week. Only voters in the two participating districts will receive a ballot.
In early-January, Snohomish County Elections mailed 1,182 ballots to military and overseas voters.
Each ballot packet mailed to voters includes the local voters’ pamphlet, which provides important information about the election and details on the ballot measures. Voters are encouraged to return their completed ballots as soon as practical.
Voters have until Monday, February 3, to register or update their existing registration online or by mail. People can register to vote, update their existing registration, obtain a ballot, or use accessible voting equipment in person up until 8:00 p.m. on Election Night, Tuesday, February 11, at the Snohomish County Auditor’s Office (3000 Rockefeller Ave, Everett, WA).
There are eight official ballot drop boxes open for the February 11 Special Election. Ballot drop boxes are open 24 hours a day until 8:00 p.m. on Election Day and located in or near the jurisdictions participating in this election, making them an easy and convenient option for voters to return their ballots.
