General Election Day is November 4, and King County Elections (KCE) has officially mailed out more than 1.4 million ballots to registered voters across the county. Officials expect a 45% turnout this year.

Statewide, ballots need to be mailed by October 17, as required by state law — 18 days before Election Day. Eligible military and overseas voters received their ballots even earlier, by September 20.

If you’re registered to vote, your ballot is mailed automatically — no need to request one.
