Monday Deadline For Online, Mail Voter Registration In Washington

OLYMPIA, WA — With just over a week to go before election day, Monday marks an important deadline for Washingtonians who have yet to cast votes in the 2020 Primary Election: all online and mail voter registrations must be completed by the end of the day.

Ballots must be postmarked or returned to a dropbox by 8 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 4. Elections officials recommend mailing ballots no later than Friday, July 31, to ensure they arrive in time to be counted.

This year, dozens of races are underway, including those for major statewide offices, like the governor, attorney general and secretary of state.

As of Wednesday, July 22, just 9.3 percent of registered voters had returned their ballots, according to the Secretary of State's office.
