If you want to vote this time around, Monday is the very last day that you can register for the November election.
First time Washington State voters can still register in person at their county elections department through Oct. 29 for the Nov. 6 General Election. The deadline has passed for all address changes and new registrations submitted online or by mail.
In King County, you’ll have to go in person to either the elections office in Renton or you can visit the voter registration annex inside of the King County Administration building in downtown Seattle. Find your county elections department procedures here.
Secretary of State Sam Reed predicts an 81 percent percent voter turnout, slightly higher than the 79.2 percent average over the past 60 years for a gubernatorial election year.
Reed’s office says voter registration has climbed to 3,880,859, with 149,202 new or reactivated voters since the Aug. 7 primary.
