In Washington state, you do NOT need to request a ballot if you’re already registered. Ballots were mailed out the week of October 16. If you have not received a ballot yet, you’re urged to contact your county elections office to request a replacement. The voter’s pamphlet was mailed out the week prior. You can also do your research with the state’s online pamphlet.
