Ballots Are in the Mail!

Today, Snohomish County Elections mailed ballots for the Nov. 8 General Election to more than half-a-million registered voters. Ballots were mailed to military and overseas voters on Sept. 23 and to out-of-state and rural voters on Oct. 13. A local voters’ pamphlet was mailed earlier this month by the Secretary of State’s office to every household. All eligible voters should receive their ballot no later than Wednesday, Oct. 26.

The Nov. 8 General Election features races for federal, state, judicial, and local offices. The City of Lake Stevens, City of Stanwood, Monroe School District, and Fire District 23 will have measures on the ballot.

Voters can register or update an existing registration online or by mail through Monday, Oct. 31. After Oct. 31, voters can continue to register or make address updates and receive a ballot in person until 8 p.m. on Election Night, Tuesday, Nov. 8 at the Auditor’s Office or at an accessible voting site during specific hours.

Thirty-five ballot drop boxes will be open for the General Election to receive voted ballots including recently installed boxes at the Ash Avenue Park & Ride in Marysville and Centennial Middle School in Snohomish. Drop box locations can be found at www.snoco.org/elections, on the insert in the ballot packet, as well as printed in the local voters’ pamphlet.

Additionally, voters can return their ballots by mail through the U.S. Postal Service. Ballots must be postmarked by Election Day, Nov. 8. Check the last collection time on the box and when in doubt, use a ballot drop box.

Snohomish County Elections has accessible voting equipment for voters with disabilities to vote independently and offers last-minute voter registration and ballot issuance at the following sites during the hours listed:
