It’s election day, don’t forget to vote

November 2nd, 2010 by Thea

Today is election day, so if you’re planning to vote in this year’s mid-term election, it’s now or never.

Ballots can be returned by mail (postmarked by today), or at the nearest dropbox, in front of the Ballard Library (on the corner of  NW 57th Street & 22nd Avenue NW) until 8 p.m. today. The online voters’ pamphlet can be found here.

It’s not the same as going to the polls, but King County Elections has created an “I Voted” sticker for you to print or download for your blog or Facebook. Find it here.

Ballots must be postmarked by Tuesday

February 8th, 2010 by Doree

It’s a little harder to remember when Election Day is now, since King County voters no longer go to an actual polling place, instead voting by mail. So here’s a little reminder: Ballots must be postmarked by tomorrow, Tuesday, February 9 in order to count.

And King County has removed all but two of its drop boxes, so if you can’t make it to the post office by 5 p.m. Tuesday, you’ll have to drop it into a free drop box at the King County Administration Building, 500 Fourth Ave. in downtown Seattle, or at King County Elections Headquarters, 9010 East Marginal Way S. in Tukwila.

You can also drop it off at one of King County’s three accessible voting centers, including one at Seattle’s Union Station 401 S. Jackson St., until 8 p.m. on Tuesday.

On the ballot in Seattle are two Seattle Public School measures to renew existing Operating and Capital levies.
