The Nov. 4 General Election deadline is rapidly approaching. Ballots must be postmarked by Nov. 4 or returned to a drop box by 8 p.m. Nov. 4. To date, about 266,000 King County voters have returned ballots.

Don’t wait until the last minute to vote. Voting now saves time, allows more efficient processing of ballots, and gives more time for voters to resolve signature problems.
