November General Election ballots mailed to all eligible voters by Oct. 16
OLYMPIA — County elections offices statewide will mail ballots to every eligible voter for the Nov. 3 General Election by Friday, Oct. 16.
Over 5.1 million registered voters will be mailed a ballot for the midterm elections. Voters will decide on local, state, and federal contests, as well as three statewide ballot measures.
Voters participating in the election must return their ballot by 8 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 3. The Office of the Secretary of State strongly encourages voters to return their ballot using an official ballot drop box. If voters need to return a ballot by mail, they should do so more than a week before Election Day. Ballots returned by mail must be postmarked on or before Election Day to be considered on time.
“In the midterm elections, every voter has the opportunity to directly decide on their represented officials and on local and statewide measures,” Secretary of State Steve Hobbs said. “Election officials are hard at work across the state ensuring that you can participate in an election that is secure, accurate, and accessible. I encourage every eligible voter to cast a ballot and make their voice heard this election.”
Voters can find information about the candidates and measures on their ballot in the Statewide Voters’ Pamphlet, which was mailed to every Washington residence in early October. If a voter didn’t receive their voters’ pamphlet, they can contact their county elections office to receive a copy or access their personalized voter guide online at VoteWA.gov.
Eligible voters who have not yet registered to vote can do so during the election period. Online and mailed voter registrations must be received by Monday, Oct. 26, to be eligible to vote in this election. After that date, eligible voters can register to vote in person at a county elections office or voting center until 8 p.m. on Election Day.
Registered voters can log in on VoteWA.gov to ensure their voter registration is up to date or check their ballot status. If you have questions about your registration, contact your county elections office.
Voters can also sign up for text message notifications about their ballot online at VoteWA.gov or by texting “VOTE” to 868392.
