Local voters set to receive Special Election ballots

King County Elections will be mailing out ballots tomorrow, April 8, to all registered voters in King County for the April 28 Special Election. This special election includes measures from seven jurisdictions on issues such as transportation, school construction, public safety, parks and more.

“Voters will see a single countywide measure on their ballot,” said Sherril Huff, Director of King County Elections. “Voters in six districts will also see measures important to their communities. Read your ballot and weigh in with your vote.”

King County Elections predict a turnout of 33 percent for this election.

All voters will receive a voters’ pamphlet with all measures in this election. Ballots will include only the measures for which a voter is eligible to vote.

Voters should read and follow directions on their ballots, sign the return envelope, and get ballots back before the April 28 election day deadline. Mailed ballots need a first-class stamp. Voters in Ballard can also return their ballots to the drop box at Ballard Library (5614 22nd Ave NW) by 8 p.m. on April 28.

If you are not yet registered and wish to do so you have until April 20 at 4:30 p.m. to register in person at King County Elections offices (500 4th Ave (Room 440) Seattle) to vote in this election.

Voters who don’t receive a ballot by April 15 or who have questions should call King County Elections at 206-296-VOTE (8683).
