Expect your ballot to arrive soon in the mail
With a couple weeks to go before Election Day, candidates are starting to make their final push for votes. That includes a swirl of campaign ads.
Ballots should start showing up in mailboxes in King County through the end of October. Pierce County will begin mailing ballots to voters on Friday.
King County has 1.4 million active voters. About 32% of them voted in the August primary election, determining who would face off in November. Election officials predict a much higher amount, 72%, will vote in November.
To make the election transparent, King County invites members of the public to observe election activities. Once volunteers and staff start processing ballots, people can watch a live stream video. Eight official observers will be on the counting floor.
Ballots are due Nov. 8.
