Make sure your vote counts - check your ballot

The November election is drawing to a close, with voters throughout King County considering their choices. The number of measures and races being voted on varies depending on the district where a voter resides, so not all ballots are of the same length. The order that items are placed on the ballot is determined by law. In this election, two state measures are placed at the beginning of the ballot and located directly under the voting instructions. Sherril Huff, Director of Elections notes, “Many King County voters received very crowded ballots this time. I’d like to remind everyone to thoroughly read your ballot from the beginning to end. Be sure to turn it over and check the back to be sure that nothing is missed.” Voters can visit www.kingcounty.gov/elections anytime and go to “your voter guide” to create a customized voters pamphlet with all of the ballot measures and races that are listed on their personal ballots. The Elections office also invites voters to call our phone bank during business hours at 206-296-VOTE (8683) if they have any questions about their ballot or the voting process. Ballots must be returned to Elections or postmarked by November 3, Election Day.
