6 More Vote Centers Open In King County Saturday

KING COUNTY, WA — King County will open six additional vote centers in the final days of the 2020 election, giving last-minute voters a one-stop-shop to get registered, drop off their ballots or get any other help they need.

On Saturday, Monday and Tuesday, voters will have the opportunity to visit six other locations opening in Bellevue, Federal Way, Kenmore, Kent and Seattle. The King County Elections headquarters in Renton has been open to assist voters since Oct. 14 According to the Secretary of State's office, 66.8 percent of King County's 1.42 million registered voters had returned their ballots by late Friday afternoon. Friday was the last day recommended to return ballots by mail to ensure an on-time postmark.

To reduce wait times, registered voters who need a replacement ballot can request one before heading out, or print one online. Vote centers also offer services to assist voters with disabilities, and new registrations are available in-person until the polls close at 8 p.m. on Nov. 3.
