1/ Following last night’s Presidential debate, we’re hearing a couple of main questions from our voters.

2/ When do I get my ballot?
King County ballots are mailed on 10/14. You should have it in hand by the 10/19 mail delivery. If you don’t, give us a call at 206-296-VOTE(8683) or you can go online to http://kingcounty.gov/elections/obmp to print one at home.

3/ Once you have it, vote it, sign it, and turn it right back into us. Voting early means you get to rest easy knowing you did your part and all of those early ballots will be included in Election Night results, giving all of us a clearer picture of results in that initial count
4/ Where can I go vote in person?
Vote Centers in Renton, Seattle, Bellevue, Kent, Kenmore, & Federal Way are where voters who need to register, who need a replacement ballot & can't print one from home, & voters w disabilities can come to use assistive devices.

5/ If you do not need assistance, given the pandemic we ask that you plan to vote from home. We want to keep lines and crowds down in all locations to make sure that voters who need to come in person and our staff are able to stay safe and healthy.
6/ Drop boxes are a great option for those who want to get their ballot directly back to us and each Vote Center will have a drop box so you can drop off your ballot there without waiting in line.
7/ That said, the decision to come in person is up to you. We’ll be there. If you come in person, plan to wear a mask and follow social distancing guidelines. Exact locations and hours will be updated on our website in the coming week here: https://www.kingcounty.gov/depts/elections/how-to-vote/ballots/returning-my-ballot/vote-centers.aspx
8/ What else is on the ballot other than the Presidential race?
Lots of stuff! There are statewide ballot measures and candidates, there are state legislative races, and ballot measures from the county, cities, and special purpose districts.

10/ How can I update my party preference?
You don’t need to do that! Here in Washington, the only time we declare a preference as voters is in a Presidential Primary (ours happened back in March).

11/ That information is kept on your file for 60 days and then wiped – so it’s already out of the system. We don't need to know which party you prefer, it has no impact on the ballot you receive or how your vote gets counted.
We don’t care how you vote. We just care that you do

That's all for now!
