The following is a press release from King County elections:
The February Special election is quickly approaching with ballots due to drop boxes by 8 p.m. sharp or postmarked by Tuesday, Feb. 8. The deadline to register to vote online or by mail (received, not postmarked) is Monday, Jan. 31.
After the deadline has passed, voters can still register to vote, update their registration or signature, receive a replacement ballot, or use an assistive device at King County Elections Headquarters in Renton.
