📮 Remember to Vote: Primary Election is August 4
Ballots are due by 8:00 pm on Tuesday, August 4 in King County’s Primary and Special Election. We encourage all registered voters to vote. If you vote by mail, ballots must be postmarked no later than Election Day. Or you may turn in your mail ballot on or before Election Day at a ballot drop-off location.
