King County Elections will mail ballots tomorrow, April 8, to all registered voters in King County for the April 28 Special Election. This special election includes measures from seven jurisdictions on issues such as transportation, school construction, public safety, parks and more.
“Voters will see a single countywide measure on their ballot,” said Sherril Huff, Director of King County Elections. “Voters in six districts will also see measures important to their communities. Read your ballot and weigh in with your vote.”
King County Elections has forecast a turnout of 33 percent for this election.
Voters’ pamphlets
Voters will receive a voters’ pamphlet with all measures in this election. Ballots will include only the measures for which a voter is eligible to vote.
Options for returning ballots
Voters should read and follow directions on their ballots, sign the return envelope, and get ballots back before the April 28 election day deadline. Mailed ballots need a first-class stamp. Voters also have 25 locations to return ballots without a stamp by 8 p.m. on April 28, including permanent drop-box locations, scheduled ballot drop-off vans and Accessible Voting Centers.
